Ochsner Medical Complex - The Grove

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Ochsner Medical Complex, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ve seen some strange things here, but today takes the cake.’ A nurse passing by overheard and asked curiously, ‘What now?’ Suddenly, from around the corner came a little old lady in a wheelchair, waving cheerfully and calling out, 'Delivery for room 314!' The driver blinked, then laughed sheepishly. 'Guess I was too busy thinking about ghost stories,' he said with a smile. 'Next time I'll look where I'm going.'

2. At dawn, when most clinics are quieting down, a janitor in Ochsner Medical Complex noticed something peculiar: a shadowy figure darted between the corridors, leaving behind a trail of laughter that seemed too human for an empty building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old man, lost in his own thoughts, pushing a shopping cart filled with forgotten dreams. ‘I was just trying to find my way back home,’ he said sheepishly. The janitor smiled and helped him out, realizing it was indeed easier to laugh than cry—even in an empty hospital.

3. In the early morning hours, a nurse on her way to work asked curiously: ‘Who keeps leaving these mysterious notes in the staff kitchen?’ Suddenly, another note appeared: 'Please, no more mystery recipes!' Turned out, it was just a delivery driver who thought he’d leave everyone a little something special.'

4. In the late afternoon shadows of The Grove, a little girl pointed excitedly at something invisible to everyone else. ‘Look!’ she whispered, “There’s a unicorn!” Her parents exchanged puzzled glances as they followed her gaze towards the entrance. As they approached, an ordinary-looking delivery driver waved cheerfully from inside the door. 'Hi there!' he called out brightly. 'Just wanted to say hello—oh, and I saw your little girl's unicorn too!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another friendly face in the Grove.
