Sanjeevani Eye Hospital And Research Institute

Our place is at 18 IAS Colony in Kidwaipuri, Patna. It’s a quieter part of town compared to the main markets, which is nice for a hospital. The building has been here for a while and it’s got that solid, old-school feel to it. We handle all kinds of eye issues, and since we do research too, there are always some books and papers scattered around the back office. The front area is where the patients wait, and we have those rows of chairs that get filled up pretty early in the morning. We use various machines to check how well people can see, and the dark room for exams always feels a bit cooler than the rest of the building. The staff here has been together for a long time, so we have a routine down for how to move people through the tests. We don’t have fancy uniforms, just our usual clothes and lab coats. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which is just part of living in Patna. There’s a small garden area out front that’s a bit overgrown, but it gives the place a bit of green. We see everyone from little kids to very old people who can barely see the stairs. It’s a busy life, looking into eyes all day and writing down notes for the research, but it’s what we do here in the colony.
