About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith was leaving UAB Russell Clinic after visiting his daughter. ‘I’ll never come here again,’ he muttered under his breath as he walked down the street, ‘this place is cursed!’ As he walked, a delivery driver honked and called out, ‘Hey, old timer! Don’t you mean “never again”? Because that’s what everyone says!’ Mr. Smith stopped, grinned sheepishly, and replied, “Well, maybe I will come back… if they serve good coffee!” The legend of UAB Russell Clinic lived on.

2. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to UAB Russell Clinic with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the door, he heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old doctor dancing around in circles, singing something about ‘healing frequencies.’ Turns out, it was just his new playlist. The delivery driver left the box unopened and quietly drove away, wondering if everyone in town had lost their minds—or maybe found something better than coffee for breakfast.

3. One day, while a nurse was preparing medications in UAB Russell Clinic, she noticed a mysterious note on the counter: ‘Take two of these and call me in the morning.’ The nurse chuckled and thought, 'Who could it be?' Later that evening, an exhausted delivery driver knocked on her door with a box labeled 'Russell Clinic.' Inside was a bottle of aspirin and a note: 'Sorry for the confusion—next time I'll just text!'

4. One afternoon, a little girl followed her mom into UAB Russell Clinic, holding tightly onto her hand. As they approached the reception desk, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The statue is winking!’ The mother looked up but saw nothing unusual. Smiling gently, she said, 'Honey, it's just the light playing tricks.' They continued checking in, and as they walked away, the little girl turned back with a giggle, pointing again—this time, it was really just an old man in the waiting room adjusting his glasses. Everyone burst out laughing, making that visit to UAB Russell Clinic one they'll never forget.
