1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he caught a whiff of freshly brewed coffee that seemed to be wafting out. As he leaned in closer, he thought he saw a shadowy figure behind the counter—just a doctor taking a quick break with his laptop. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing it was probably just another late-night worker enjoying some well-deserved rest. With a smile, he left the package and walked away, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring them donuts.’

2. Early morning fog enveloped Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care. Something wasn’t quite right—his package seemed heavier than usual. As he opened the box, he found nothing but a small note reading: ‘Your package was too heavy because it contained our secret recipe for world-class chicken soup.’ A regular patient walked in and asked if they had any soup left. The delivery driver smiled and replied, ‘It’s all gone—we gave it away as part of our new marketing strategy!’

3. Late one night, a pizza delivery driver raced through the streets of Chicago, trying to beat the clock. As he pulled up to Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care, something odd caught his eye—a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. Curious, he followed the silhouette inside and found an old man frantically searching for his remote control. ‘Sir,’ the driver said, ‘I thought you were hurt!’ The man grinned sheepishly, replying, ‘Just needed my TV remote—must’ve dropped it outside.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver rushed towards Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care, wondering aloud if they’d ever see their next shift.
