A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to One Lawndale Community Care & Surgery Center and muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t ask for my blood type again.’ As he approached the door, an elderly lady waved him over. ‘Hey there,’ she said with a smile, ‘can you help me carry these groceries inside? I’m just too old for this.’ The delivery driver shook his head, grinning. ‘Not today, ma’am. But maybe next time they won’t ask for my blood type!’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to One Lawndale Community Care & Surgery Center. The air suddenly filled with an odd, sweet scent—like someone had accidentally left cookies baking in an oven. Everyone who passed by swore they could smell it too. As he approached the door, the scent grew stronger—so strong that even the dog sleeping inside perked up and wagged its tail. Turns out, the receptionist had just baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies for her colleagues. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, thinking maybe next time he’d bring his own snacks.
3. Early in the morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to One Lawndale Community Care & Surgery Center. The sky was just beginning to lighten when he noticed an unusual sign on the door. He knocked gently, but no one answered. Curious, he peered inside through the open door and saw only empty operating tables and quiet rooms. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was closed for the weekend. As he turned around to leave, he heard a soft voice from behind him: ‘Hey, thanks for coming!’ Turning back, he found a sleepy receptionist yawning and stretching. ‘We were out of coffee,’ she explained with a smile.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to One Lawndale Community Care & Surgery Center and called out: ‘Hey, anybody here? I’ve got an emergency!’ No one answered, so he shouted again: ‘Hello?! It’s an emergency!’ Then, from inside came a sleepy voice: ‘Emergency? This is a clinic, not a pizza place! Go away!’ The delivery driver sheepishly drove off, leaving behind only a confused neighbor asking, ‘Why was there a pizza box outside the vet clinic?’
