About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he opened it, everyone in the waiting room heard a voice over the PA: ‘Attention patients—we’ve received your very special request!’ Inside, a confused doctor asked, 'What special request?' Then from the box came out a small potted plant and a note saying, 'For Dr. Smith's desk.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another prank from a regular.

2. In the middle of the night, a neighbor heard strange noises coming from St. Jude Affiliate Clinic. Curious, they peeked inside and saw a janitor humming softly as he rearranged the medical charts on the wall. As the janitor straightened the last chart, he suddenly noticed an old photo of a smiling baby. Smiling back at him was none other than his own long-lost child. With that, he whispered, ‘Maybe tonight’s not such a bad night after all.’

3. Late one night, a nurse was finishing her shift when she noticed an unusual shadow moving between the waiting room chairs. Curious, she followed it and found an old man fumbling with his glasses in the dark. ‘Can I help you?’ she asked gently. Turning around, he smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Just looking for my contact lenses.’ The nurse laughed softly, thinking to herself that some nights were definitely more eventful than others.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a janitor cleaning the hallway found something peculiar in the clinic’s supply closet—a small, unmarked box labeled only with the words ‘For St. Jude’s Special Project’. Curious, he opened it and discovered nothing but a single packet of sugar-free gum. Later that morning, an exhausted nurse joked that maybe it was for patients who needed extra motivation not to snack on the free snacks.
