A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Amarillo Family Physicians and exclaimed, 'I just saw something strange!' He told everyone he’d seen a patient walking out with a box of bandages under each arm.' Everyone looked puzzled until one nurse whispered, ‘Oh no, it’s our new diabetic patient who thinks he can treat himself!’ The next day, when another delivery arrived, the same guy was there again—this time carrying two boxes of Band-Aids and smiling sheepishly. ‘Sorry,’ he said, ‘I’m running low.’

2. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Amarillo Family Physicians with a puzzled expression on his face. He climbed out of his truck and called into the clinic: ‘Hey, do you guys know that your neon sign says “Open All Night” but it’s actually closed?’ Inside, an old nurse chuckled and replied, 'Oh, that's just our little joke. Open all night for patients who really mean business!' The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, glad he hadn't missed any urgent deliveries.

3. In the late afternoon, a curious neighbor stopped by the clinic and asked, ‘Do you ever get patients who come in with strange symptoms?’ The doctor smiled and nodded. 'Oh yes,' he replied, leaning back in his chair. 'Once, a delivery driver came in complaining that his truck was talking to him.' The neighbor laughed, shaking her head. 'And?' she asked. The doctor grinned broadly. 'Well, it turned out to be just an old radio left on.' They both chuckled, realizing sometimes the strangest things can happen.

4. In the middle of a quiet Tuesday afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Amarillo Family Physicians with a worried expression on his face. ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘my dog keeps telling me he’s not feeling well.’ The doctor smiled and asked if the dog had any unusual symptoms. 'He says he's got a sore paw,' replied the man. The vet looked puzzled but then noticed that the old man's shoe was scuffed on one side. 'Sir, maybe your dog isn't talking—maybe you're just walking funny!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the patient who realized he'd been limping without realizing it.
