About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midweek Orthopaedics at Rush, an anonymous nurse began noticing something peculiar during her night shifts. Every Wednesday around midnight, a delivery driver would arrive with packages addressed to ‘Dr. Smith,’ even though there was no such person on staff. One evening, while making rounds, Dr. Thompson overheard a nurse whispering excitedly, 'Did you see who signed for those mysterious packages? It’s always “Special Patient”!' Turns out, it was just Midweek Ortho’s friendly janitor, enjoying his newfound fame as the secret package recipient. The legend lives on, but now everyone knows that sometimes, anonymity is just good ol’ fashioned Midwestern modesty.

2. At Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, a delivery driver once remarked with a straight face, ‘Doc, I feel like my package is out of alignment.’ Everyone in the waiting room burst into laughter. A little old lady from next door walked in and said, ‘Doctor, it feels like someone’s been rearranging my furniture at night!’ The whole place erupted again, and even the receptionist had tears of laughter running down her cheeks.

3. At Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, a curious patient asked one day, ‘Doc, why do I feel like my bones are trying to escape?’ ‘Well,’ replied Doc with a twinkle in his eye, ‘it seems your bones are just trying to get out and see the world!’ Turns out the patient had been sitting too long in his delivery driver uniform. Moral of the story? Don’t forget to stretch.’

4. At Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, a delivery driver once noticed something odd in the parking lot—a wheelchair cushion suspiciously shaped like a giant marshmallow. Curious, he approached it and found that someone had cleverly sculpted a life-size marshmallow man out of foam. Word spread quickly among staff, who joked that maybe their patient was a secret fan of s’mores. From then on, whenever a new patient arrived, everyone looked forward to seeing if another whimsical creation would appear in the lot.
