South Austin Medical Clinic: Canon Todd A MD

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached the clinic's entrance, he noticed an old man slowly making his way out, muttering something about ‘another long night’. As the delivery driver opened the package, he found only a small box of donuts and a note scribbled in pencil: 'For keeping us awake last night.' Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood doctor who loved pastries more than sleep.

2. One day, an elderly patient shuffled into Dr. Todd’s office carrying a large cardboard box under his arm. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, addressing no one in particular over the clinic intercom, ‘but could you please tell me where I can dispose of this strange-looking medical equipment?’ A delivery driver, hearing the commotion, popped his head out and asked curiously, 'Hey, is that a defibrillator?' The old man nodded sheepishly. 'I thought it was a coffee maker,' he admitted with a laugh. Dr. Todd just smiled and said, 'Next time, ask before you take home someone else's equipment!'

3. In South Austin, near Dr. Todd’s clinic, a curious cat began appearing every Tuesday afternoon. It would sit outside the door, meowing insistently until someone opened it—only for the feline to dash inside and disappear behind the reception desk. One day, an exhausted delivery driver came in complaining of a headache. As he sat down, the cat jumped onto his lap, purring contentedly. Startled, he looked up at the receptionist who shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Whiskers—he loves everyone.’ The driver smiled, realizing that maybe, just maybe, the cat was trying to make friends.

4. At dawn, when most of South Austin was still asleep, a strange van pulled up outside Dr. Todd’s clinic. Its headlights illuminated a familiar sign: ‘Open Only for Emergencies.’ Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver emerged from the van and knocked on the door. 'Emergency!' he whispered. Inside, Dr. Todd yawned and said, 'Next time use the phone.' The driver nodded sheepishly and drove off into the early morning fog.
