Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital

If you are looking for the Office of the Medical Superintendent you have to come to Room No-35 in the S-Block. This part of the hospital is where a lot of the administrative stuff happens. It is away from the main wards but it is still very busy with people coming in for signatures and stamps. The room is filled with wooden desks and stacks of paper that seem to reach the ceiling. We have old filing cabinets that are stuffed with years of records. The windows look out over the hospital grounds in Mangolpuri. You can hear the constant noise of the hospital from here. It is not a very fancy office. We have a few chairs for visitors but they are usually occupied. The staff here spends most of the day typing or talking on the phone to other departments. Sometimes the printer jams and we have to spend ten minutes fixing it while someone is waiting. It is a lot of bureaucratic work but it is what keeps the memorial hospital running behind the scenes. We deal with a lot of forms and permissions every single day. People come to Room 35 when they need something official done. It is just a regular office job in a very busy hospital setting. We take our tea breaks when we can and try to stay on top of the never-ending paperwork. It gets quite hot in the afternoons.
