About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few weeks ago, an elderly gentleman entered Duke City Urgent Care with a curious expression on his face. As he approached the counter, he pointed towards a strange object sitting on the reception desk—a small, wooden carousel horse with mismatched eyes and a crooked smile. 'I found it in my grocery bag,' he said, scratching his head. 'Any idea what it is?' The nurse took one look at the toy and burst out laughing. "Oh, that's not from your groceries," she explained. "It's our office mascot!" The old man scratched his head again, smiling. "Well, thank goodness for that,” he replied, “or I might’ve had to return it to the wrong place.” Everyone in the waiting room chuckled, warming up to each other over the quirky little horse.

2. Last week, while a nurse was preparing supplies in Duke City Urgent Care, she heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—please be advised that our waiting room air conditioning is now officially colder than Antarctica.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in complaining of chattering teeth. The nurse smiled and said, 'Welcome to Duke City Urgent Care! We’ve got you covered with Arctic temperatures!' Everyone laughed, including the poor guy who just wanted his flu shot.

3. A delivery driver rushed into Duke City Urgent Care, frantically waving a package. ‘It’s alive!’ he exclaimed, pointing at the box. The staff looked perplexed for a moment, then one nurse calmly opened the box and pulled out a squirming hamster. 'Oh, it's just our new mascot,' she said with a smile. The delivery driver sighed in relief, relieved it wasn’t something more… dangerous.

4. A neighborhood cat regularly visited Duke City Urgent Care through an open window. One morning, a doctor found himself examining not just another patient, but a furry feline with a curious expression. The doctor scratched his head and asked, ‘What brings you here today, little friend?’ The cat meowed once, then jumped onto the counter and started playing with a stray thread from the nurse’s scrubs. A nearby delivery driver remarked, ‘Looks like our feline friend is here for some kitty entertainment!’ And so, Duke City Urgent Care became known as the place where even cats could get their daily dose of fun.
