V.M. Salgaocar Hospital

V.M. Salgaocar Hospital is located right off Airport Road. It’s a spot that most people in the area are familiar with because of all the traffic heading toward the planes. The hospital has a plain look to it, which suits us just fine. We aren't here to be a landmark; we are here to be a hospital. Inside, the floors are buffed and the air smells a bit like disinfectant, just like any other medical place. We have a lot of different departments, so on any given day, you might see people coming in for all sorts of reasons. Some are here for a quick test, while others might be staying for a few days. The staff stays pretty busy moving from room to room. We don't have a lot of time for corporate talk or polished speeches. We just focus on the charts and the patients. Being off Airport Road means we get a mix of locals and sometimes people who are just passing through. It can get a bit loud outside with the jets, but we are used to it by now. The doctors and nurses are just trying to do their jobs and get home to their families at the end of the shift. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place where we just take things one patient at a time. We’ve been here for years, and we just keep on going. The airport road never really sleeps, so there is always some activity outside. We just keep the hospital running for whoever might need us at any hour, day or night.
