Hari Balaji Hospital

Hari Balaji Hospital sits right on 63 Ramamoorthy Road. If you walk down this street, you'll see us there among the other shops and buildings. It’s a busy spot most days. The front door is always opening and closing. Inside, the tile floors have seen better days, but we mop them all the time. There is a small counter where the staff sits to talk to whoever comes in. They use old ledgers and some computers that take a minute to start up. The waiting area has these plastic chairs that are okay for a bit, though they aren't the softest things in the world. We have a fan that rattles a little on the high setting, but it keeps the air moving. Doctors come in their own time and people wait their turn. Some folks bring newspapers to read while they sit. You can hear the horns from the traffic on Ramamoorthy Road all day long. It's just how the neighborhood is. We don't have any fancy fountains or big lobbies. It is just a place with rooms for patients and a small pharmacy area near the back. People from the nearby houses come here because it's close by. We see the same faces quite a bit. The lights are a little bright, but you need that in a hospital. We just keep the doors open and do the work that needs doing every day without making a big deal out of it. It’s just us here.
