About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the hospital’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he drove past it without opening. Later that day, another delivery driver found an identical package next to the same spot. Thinking it was a prank, he opened it—and discovered nothing but a note reading: ‘Next time, please use the front door!’

2. In the early afternoon, a nurse was restocking supplies when she spotted an unusual item on the shelf—an old, dusty bottle of ketchup labeled ‘Emergency Sauce.’ Nobody could recall anyone ever ordering it. Curious, she asked around and found out that years ago, a regular patient had donated some condiments for emergencies. No one knew why only ketchup made the cut, but soon after, patients started asking for ‘Emergency Sauce’ whenever they needed a quick snack. The legend grew until today, where every new employee gets a tour of the mysterious bottle—and a good laugh.

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the OrthoCarolina Urgent Care parking lot saw something peculiar: a shadowy figure limping towards the entrance, but no one else around. The guard watched curiously as the figure disappeared inside. Later that night, while reviewing surveillance footage, he noticed it was just an overworked doctor hurrying home after a long shift—who had forgotten his orthopedic shoes again. The end result? A comical sight of him hobbling across the lot like a clumsy penguin, earning him the nickname ‘Waddling Doc’ among staff.

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the OrthoCarolina Urgent Care parking lot heard an eerie humming sound coming from behind the building. Curious but cautious, he approached cautiously, only to discover… nothing. As he peered around the corner, his flashlight beam illuminated a stray cat purring contentedly near some boxes. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was just the cat’s purr keeping late-night visitors company. Moral of the story? Sometimes what seems mysterious is just a happy kitty having a midnight snack.
