Sms Hospital

Being out here in Jaitaran, things are a bit different than the big city hospitals. We serve the local folks from the surrounding villages and the town itself. People usually show up early, sometimes even before we open the gates. SMS Hospital here is a simple building. It’s not huge, but it does what it needs to for the people around here. You see a lot of farmers and families coming in. There's usually a bit of dust in the air because of the local roads. We spend a lot of time talking to patients who are worried about their kids or their parents. The waiting room is just a basic space with some fans that work pretty hard during the summer months. We don't have a lot of the high-tech stuff you see in the papers, but we have enough to help people get through their basic health issues. The staff lives nearby, so we know most of the people who walk through the door. It’s a quiet kind of busy. You might see a stray dog resting in the shade of the porch during the afternoon heat. We handle everything from fevers to small injuries. It’s just about being there for the neighbors. Sometimes the medicine supply takes a bit longer to arrive from the city, but we make do. Life moves a bit slower here, but the work is still important to us every day. We try to keep things honest and simple for everyone.
