About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to UI Urgent Care on 10th Street and asked the nurse, ‘Do you take insurance for aliens?’ The nurse smiled and replied, 'We don’t accept alien insurance here, but I can help you with your human health issues!' The delivery driver nodded and said, 'Thanks, that’s good to know.' And so, another unusual patient found their way into UI Urgent Care that evening.
2. One morning, a regular patient complained to the receptionist: ‘Why does everyone here look so sleepy? Even when I come in for an early check-up, they’re yawning!’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, it's not that we're sleepy—we're just really good listeners!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the doctor who was passing by. The next day, the whole clinic had stickers saying “UI Urgent Care: Listening Since 19XX” on their windows.
3. One day, a little girl walked into UI Urgent Care with her mother and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that bird flying around?’ The nurse looked up and smiled. 'Oh, that's not a bird,' she said gently. 'That's just our friendly ceiling fan.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as they continued their visit.
4. Early one foggy morning, a jogger stumbled upon UI Urgent Care on 10th Street. Glancing around, they noticed something odd—all the patients seemed to be wearing identical hospital gowns, but no doctors were in sight. As the jogger approached closer, someone whispered from behind the curtain: ‘Hey, where’s my phone?’ Turning around, they saw an old man holding a remote control and a confused look on his face. It turned out that everyone was just waiting for their turn with the robot doctor who never showed up—until finally, a sleepy nurse emerged, apologizing profusely and offering free coffee to everyone as compensation.
