About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's back door and asked the receptionist, 'Do you know why I always get lost here?' She smiled and replied, 'Because you're the only one who takes these turns so often!' The receptionist laughed and said, ‘Actually, everyone gets lost here sometimes!’ Just then, an old man hobbled in and asked for directions to the bathroom. The delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘See? Even locals can’t find their way around here.’

2. Last week, a curious neighbor knocked on the clinic’s reception window and asked, ‘Do you guys ever treat aliens here?’ The doctor looked up from his microscope and replied with a straight face, ‘Well, sir, if they come in complaining of sinus problems or an ear infection, we’ll certainly give them our best care!’ The neighbor laughed heartily and walked away, leaving the staff wondering what otherworldly symptoms might bring patients through their doors.

3. One day, a sign appeared outside the clinic's entrance: 'Please do not honk your horn here—we're trying to save lives!' Inside, an elderly gentleman was consulting with the doctor. After hearing the sign, he looked around and asked, ‘Is that for real?’ The receptionist smiled and nodded. Moments later, a delivery driver honked his horn impatiently. The old man turned to him and said, ‘Son, if you’re trying to get our attention, maybe try knocking instead!’

4. Last night, someone called the clinic's emergency line and calmly asked, ‘Is it normal for my throat to sound like a chainsaw?’ The doctor paused for a moment, then replied with a straight face, ‘No, that’s not normal.’ There was a pause on the other end, followed by a relieved sigh. ‘Thank God,’ said a regular, ‘I thought I was turning into a lawnmower!’
