Safderjang Hospital

This part of Safderjang Hospital is located in the 5th CTV S department, specifically room 16. It’s a bit of a trek to get here if you’re starting from the main gates. The hospital is so large that you really have to pay attention to the signs, even if they are a bit faded or hard to read. Room 16 isn't a very large space, and it’s filled with the usual stuff you’d find in a hospital office or department. There are papers everywhere and the phones seem to ring at the most inconvenient times. It’s a very functional spot. We don't have any of those fancy waiting rooms with soft chairs. Instead, you’ll find a few hard benches and maybe some people standing around in the hallway. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, especially if the fans aren't doing much. People who work in this department are usually pretty busy, so they might not have a lot of time for small talk. We just focus on getting the work done. It’s a bit of a hidden spot compared to the rest of the hospital. You might see some doctors or nurses rushing past on their way to another ward. It feels like its own little world inside the bigger building. It’s not much to look at, but it’s where we are every day. You learn to ignore the peeling paint and the flickering lights after a while. It's just home.
