Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College And Hospital

Up here on Sultanpur Road in Kumarhatti, the air is a bit different than the plains. The hospital and college are spread out on this hilly terrain. You can see the buildings from the road as you drive toward Kumarhatti. It’s a big place because it’s not just for patients; we’ve got students here all the time too. You’ll see them in their white coats walking between the hostel and the main medical blocks. It gets quite busy during the semester. The hospital part stays open all the time, obviously. Since we are on the main road, we get people stopping by from all over the local area and travelers passing through who might need help. The parking area is often full of motorcycles and ambulances. It’s a functional space, nothing too decorated or over the top. We have the usual wards, the lecture halls for the kids, and the offices for the staff. Winter gets cold here, so everyone is usually bundled up while they work. The canteen is a central spot where everyone meets up for tea and a quick bite. It feels like its own little town sometimes because of how many people live and work on the grounds. We just focus on the daily tasks of teaching and looking after the people who come through our doors. It’s a lot of stairs and walking between buildings, which keeps everyone on their toes throughout the long shifts.
