Mrutyunjai Hospital

Our building is number 179 on the Ring Road. We’re right near the Pratap Nagar Police Station in the Trimurti Nagar area. It’s a busy part of town. Mrutyunjai Hospital has been sitting here for quite a while now. I usually take the bus to get here. The front steps are a bit worn down from everyone walking up and down them all day. Inside, it’s pretty straightforward. We have a counter where I sit and some rows of chairs. We don't have those fancy TV screens in the waiting room. People just talk to each other or look at their phones. It’s a practical place. We focus on the work at hand. If someone comes in with a problem, we look at it. We don’t use big medical jargon that no one understands. We just explain things simply. The walls are a pale color and we have some plants in the corners. They need watering more often than I remember to do it. We get a lot of people from the Pratap Nagar area. It’s a good community. We’re just part of the scenery here. Nothing flashy. We just keep the lights on and the doors open for whoever needs us. It's a job that needs doing, so we do it. Some days are harder than others but that's just how it goes. We stay till the work is done.
