About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet hallway of East Cary Family Physicians, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Please leave your shoes outside.’ No one paid much attention until patients started reporting that their socks had mysteriously changed color while they waited for appointments. Soon enough, everyone brought their own sock collection—red for Dr. Smith’s office, blue for Nurse Johnson’s station. One day, an elderly lady entered with her purse full of mismatched socks, explaining she’d been coming here so long she knew exactly which ones went where. And then, just as quickly as it began, the phenomenon stopped. To this day, no one knows why.
2. In the waiting room of East Cary Family Physicians, an old man asked aloud, ‘Why does everyone here look so familiar?’ Finally, a young nurse approached him with a kind smile and said, 'Sir, you've been coming here for years—you're our regular!' The old man nodded, realizing his mistake with a sheepish grin, while everyone in the waiting room burst into laughter.
3. In the examination room of East Cary Family Physicians, a doctor finished his rounds and noticed something odd on the ceiling. ‘Is that a new painting?’ he asked his colleague, pointing up. ‘No, it’s not,’ replied another doctor, squinting at the spot. ‘It’s just an old air vent cover.’ They both laughed, realizing neither had noticed it before. As they walked out, a regular patient turned around and asked, “Hey, doc, what’s so funny?” The doctors looked at each other, shrugged, and said in unison, “Nothing, just family practice stuff.”
4. In the examination room of East Cary Family Physicians, a doctor turned to his patient and said, 'I see you're here for your annual check-up.' The patient replied, 'Actually, I came because my dog keeps insisting on bringing me these strange notes!' The doctor raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, ‘And what exactly does your canine friend deliver?’ The patient smiled sheepishly, replying, ‘Notes scribbled in red ink that say “Come home now”.’ The doctor laughed heartily before diagnosing him with a severe case of being a good owner.
