Prem Menon, M.D.

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in Texas, a regular would always ask his doctor, Prem Menon, ‘Doc, why does your office smell like curry?’ One day, while Dr. Menon was examining a delivery driver, he overheard another patient whispering, ‘And did you notice the masala on the receptionist’s desk?’ Finally, an elderly neighbor approached Dr. Menon and asked, ‘Prem, is it true that your whole family makes curry so spicy even the reception area gets heated up?’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Well, ma’am, I guess our recipes are contagious!’

2. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Dr. Prem Menon's office. A small dog would appear from nowhere, sniffing curiously at the door and then dash away before anyone could catch it. The driver mentioned it once to the receptionist, but she just smiled mysteriously and said, 'That's not unusual.' Soon enough, word spread among the neighbors that Dr. Menon had a secret admirer—a tiny, white terrier who always appeared exactly at dawn. One day, the delivery guy brought in a basket of fresh cookies for the doctor, thinking it was some kind of neighborhood joke. To everyone’s surprise, the little dog returned later that evening with one cookie missing—clearly, its way of saying thanks. From then on, whenever someone saw the dog, they’d wave cheerfully, knowing they were part of an unspoken friendship between a busy doctor and his furry morning visitor.

3. In the early hours before dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an elderly gentleman began visiting Dr. Prem’s office. No one knew why he came so early or what they talked about inside, but soon everyone started noticing something strange—his visits always coincided with the exact moment when the first rays of sunlight touched the city. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver arrived just as the sun was rising and found the old man already leaving. Curious, he asked Dr. Prem what they discussed every day. With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor replied, 'We simply greet the new day together.' The driver shrugged and went on his way, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring coffee.’

4. In a sleepy suburb of Boston, late one night, a nurse on duty heard a strange humming sound coming from Dr. Prem Menon's office. Curious, she approached and found him absorbed in something unusual—his computer screen glowed with ancient Sanskrit texts while he intently studied them alongside modern medical journals. Suddenly, his phone rang—it was just a delivery driver asking where to leave some medicine. Startled, Dr. Menon explained that he was studying an ancient remedy for insomnia. The nurse laughed, realizing it must be late indeed when even doctors delve into old texts for help.
