Arjun's Clinical Laboratory

If you’re looking for Arjun's Clinical Laboratory, you just head over to Kallambalam. We’ve been tucked away here for quite some time now. Most of our mornings start very early, often before most people have had their breakfast, because that’s when everyone wants to get their blood drawn. The waiting area has a few chairs that have seen better days, and there’s always that faint smell of spirit and floor cleaner in the air. I spend a lot of time looking through the microscope or filing reports in the back. It’s quiet work, mostly, punctuated by the bell on the door when someone new walks in. People come in looking a bit nervous sometimes, so we try to keep things calm and straightforward. We handle the samples, run the tests, and write down the numbers. There’s a lot of paperwork involved in running a lab in Kallambalam, and my desk usually has stacks of forms waiting to be organized. The light in here is very bright, which is necessary for the work but can be a bit much on a long afternoon. We don’t have any big signs or flashy lights out front. Most people find us because they live nearby or their doctor told them to come this way. It’s a steady pace, and we just focus on doing the job we have in front of us without making a big deal out of it.
