Pediatric Emergency Room

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver rushed into the Pediatric Emergency Room, frantically pointing at the ceiling. ‘What’s that noise?’ he whispered, as a tiny voice from behind the counter piped up: ‘Probably just Dr. Smith humming again.’ As they peered closer, a small bird was perched on top of the oxygen tank, chirping away contentedly. With a smile, one nurse gently shooed it outside while another chuckled and said, 'Guess who’ll be getting birdwatching lessons next?'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver rushed into the pediatric emergency room, frantically searching for someone who could help him with his crying package. Finally, a nurse approached and asked what was wrong. The driver explained that he had delivered a noisy package addressed to ‘Baby Who Cries Loudly.’ Everyone burst out laughing as they realized the poor kid inside must be hungry or overstimulated.

3. In the dead of night, a worried parent whispered to the nurse: ‘Is it normal for my baby’s teddy bear to suddenly start singing “Happy Birthday”?’ The nurse smiled and replied gently, ‘Oh yes, that happens sometimes when our little patients get excited.’ The parent looked puzzled but relieved until another child in the waiting room started humming along, causing everyone to burst out laughing. It turned out the teddy bears were just part of the hospital’s secret musical therapy program.

4. At midnight, a sleepy nurse glanced up as a small dog trotted into the ER, tail wagging wildly, eyes wide with excitement. Curious, she followed it to the counter where an old man was waiting, holding a bag of groceries. ‘Sir,’ she asked, ‘what’s your dog doing here?’ The man smiled and replied, ‘Oh, he just loves coming here because they always give him cookies when I pick up my prescriptions.’
