Cmc Hospital Vellore

Working at Cmc Hospital Vellore on Ida Scudder Road means you are always on your feet. It’s a big place, part of the Christian Medical College setup, and it feels like it never really sleeps. Even in the middle of the night, there are lights on and people moving through the corridors. The heat in Vellore can be tough, especially in the middle of the afternoon when the sun hits the old stone walls. We have patients coming in from all over the country, so you hear a lot of different languages being spoken in the waiting areas. It is a bit of a maze if you aren't used to it, with all the different wings and departments connected by those long walkways. We spend our days dealing with a lot of paperwork and making sure the medicine is where it needs to be. It’s not a glamorous job, just honest work that needs doing. Sometimes the air feels a bit thick when the wards are full, and you just have to keep moving. The history of the place is everywhere, in the old signs and the way the buildings are laid out. We just try to keep up with the flow of people coming through the gates on Ida Scudder Road. It’s a lot of responsibility, but we just take it one shift at a time. You get to know the other staff members pretty well when you spend twelve hours a day together.
