DR Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College Hospital

This is DR Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College Hospital down here in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Our zip code is 695504 if you're looking us up on a map. It’s a big place, and it’s always busy no matter what time of day it is. People come from all over the state to get seen here. We have the medical college side and the hospital side, so there are always students in white coats running around along with the regular patients. It’s a bit of a maze if you aren't used to it. The hallways are long and there’s always the smell of cleaning supplies and medicine. We’ve been here a long time, so the buildings have that lived-in look. It’s not a shiny new private clinic; it’s a working hospital where real things happen every hour. The staff works long shifts, and the tea stall nearby is a popular spot for everyone to take a quick break. We see a lot of different people every day, and each one has their own story. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s just what we do. The rain in Kerala can be heavy, so sometimes the entrance gets a bit wet, but the work inside never stops. It's a permanent part of the landscape here in Thiruvananthapuram. There's always a queue at the pharmacy and someone asking for directions, but we try to help out where we can.
