Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner—and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, are you lost?’ Startled, the driver turned and found himself face-to-face with a friendly janitor who asked if everything was okay. Relieved, he explained what happened. The janitor laughed and said, “That’s just old Dr. Summa’s ghost—he loves practical jokes.” The driver shook his head, smiling, thinking it was probably just a regular late-night prank by a neighbor.
2. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early at Ochsner Health Center Summa with a box of medical supplies. As he opened the back door, he nearly tripped over something oddly familiar—a small plastic dinosaur toy. Curious, he picked it up and found dozens more hidden among the boxes. Who had left these prehistoric companions in the supply room? As he looked closer, he noticed tiny notes attached to each dinosaur: ‘Good luck today!’ Soon, coworkers started finding their own toys—each one different but all friendly. It turned out that a kind neighbor had been leaving them as a surprise for everyone. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, 'Maybe medicine isn’t so serious after all.'
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver arrived at Ochsner Health Center Summa with a stack of medical supplies. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something unusual on the pavement—a small, neatly wrapped package. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a freshly baked pie labeled ‘To our best neighbors, love your friendly neighborhood pharmacist.’ As he took a bite, he realized the pie was so fresh that it still had steam coming off—it must’ve been delivered just minutes ago! With a smile, he thought, ‘What a nice gesture—maybe I’ll drop some off for my colleagues too.’
4. Late one night, an Ochsner Health Center delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something unusual—a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw rows of medical equipment glowing softly in the dark. As he watched, a small robot rolled down a hallway, its LED eyes blinking red and green. The driver chuckled, thinking it was some new cleaning bot. Then, out of nowhere, a voice came over the intercom: 'Delivery for Dr. Summa—please hold all calls.' The driver looked around, startled, before realizing he'd been talking to himself. Shaking his head, he drove off, muttering, 'Next time I'll bring flowers instead of groceries!'
