Palm View Hospital

Palm View Hospital is located over on Bailey Road, not too far from Jagdev Path. If you turn onto Amrendra Path near Nandan Puri, you’ll find us in the Khajpura and Sheikapara area. It’s a busy part of the city, and the traffic on Bailey Road can be a real headache some afternoons. The hospital building has been here for a good while, and it shows a little bit of wear and tear, but it’s sturdy. Inside, it smells like cleaning fluid and floor wax most of the time. We have beds set up for people who need to stay over, and the hallways can get a bit crowded when it’s visiting hours. The staff here is mostly local folks who have been working in health for years. We don’t have those fancy coffee machines you see in the big city hospitals, just a regular kettle in the breakroom. People come in with all sorts of problems, from small things to stuff that’s a bit more serious. We spend a lot of time walking back and forth between the rooms and the front desk. The windows give a decent view of the neighborhood, though there aren't many palms to see despite the name. It’s just a practical place for people in Nandan Puri to come when they aren't feeling well. We keep the files organized as best we can and just focus on getting through the daily list of patients. Nearby, people buy fruit for patients and carry those bags in all day. It’s just part of the daily routine here.
