About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Family Doctor pharmacy, a regular customer exclaimed one day, ‘I just saw the pharmacist talking to a ghost!’ The others looked around nervously, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. Another regular, an elderly gentleman, piped up with a twinkle in his eye, 'Oh, don’t be silly! He was probably just saying goodbye to that new ghost delivery driver.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been a harmless prank after all.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still closed, an early riser walked into The Family Doctor and asked for a prescription that only existed in his dreams. The doctor looked puzzled but wrote down something anyway, smiling knowingly. As the man left, he heard the doctor muttering to himself: 'Who knows, maybe it's a new strain of insomnia.'

3. Late one night, as the neon sign of The Family Doctor flickered in the distance, a delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy's back door. Suddenly, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door and peered inside. There, behind the counter, stood an old man with a twinkle in his eye, humming along to some long-forgotten tune. ‘Looking for something, my young friend?’ asked the pharmacist. The delivery driver stammered, embarrassed. Turns out it was just an elderly neighbor singing while mixing medicines—another late-night Family Doctor tradition.

4. At the Family Doctor clinic, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why is that doctor talking to himself?’ The mother smiled and leaned closer, whispering back, ‘Honey, he’s not really talking to himself—he’s just having a conversation with Dr. Watson, our invisible friend who helps him remember everything.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into a wide smile, realizing it was all part of their family joke.
