About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of RUSH Copley Medical Group. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar: the shadowy silhouettes of patients seemed to follow him around the parking lot. Curious, the delivery driver glanced over his shoulder and saw that the shadows had merged into an old lady waving cheerfully from behind her shopping cart. Startled but amused, he waved back, realizing it was just another day in Chicago—where even medical offices have friendly neighborhood ghosts.

2. One day, a nurse noticed something peculiar on the doctor’s desk—a small envelope addressed simply ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please don’t forget to feed my goldfish today!’ Curious, she asked around and found out that the note belonged to Dr. Smith’s young son who often visited his dad during lunch breaks. The next day, when everyone gathered for morning rounds, someone mentioned the goldfish, prompting laughter and warm memories of little ones leaving their marks in unexpected ways.

3. One morning, while waiting for an appointment, a patient overheard two nurses whispering near the reception desk. ‘Did you see who just left?’ asked one. ‘The doctor,’ replied another, ‘but he looked like he’d seen a ghost!’ Curious, our patient approached and heard the second nurse add, 'He was so pale, I thought he might pass out!' Turns out, it was just a delivery driver with a funny hat.

4. One afternoon, as patients were filing into the reception area, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your doctor today is Dr. Time Machine.’ The room fell silent for a moment before erupting in laughter. A delivery driver leaned forward and asked, 'So, does he fix watches too?' The receptionist smiled and replied, 'No, but I bet he could give anyone here a time-out!'
