About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was hurrying through the clinic’s waiting room one morning when he noticed something odd on the counter—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Band-Aids for Good Luck.’ No one seemed to notice or care. The regular picked up a few band-aids and left, feeling lucky. Later that day, while driving home, he accidentally knocked over a trashcan in his neighbor's yard. Without thinking, he quickly slapped on a band-aid from his pocket and declared, 'Free band-aid for good luck!' The neighbor just shook her head and muttered, 'You’re either very lucky or extremely clumsy.'

2. A young child entered the clinic's waiting area and pointed excitedly at something on the wall. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'is that a picture of a dinosaur?' Her mother glanced up and saw only an ordinary poster of a human skeleton. The nurse smiled gently. ‘No, honey,’ she said softly, ‘that’s not a dinosaur—it’s just our usual X-ray machine.’ The little girl looked puzzled for a moment before giggling and turning back to her toy. Later that day, a delivery driver asked the receptionist if they could see a dinosaur outside too. With a knowing smile, she replied, “We’re working on it!”

3. A neighbor was walking her dog late one night when it started barking uncontrollably at an empty chair in the clinic’s lobby. She peered inside curiously, but found nothing out of place. Finally, a security guard appeared and explained that the chair had been moved there as part of a new therapy session for an unusually talkative patient. The neighbor laughed and left, resolving never to walk her dog after dark again—until tomorrow.
