About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic with a mysterious package marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the door, an old woman in a white coat appeared out of nowhere and whispered something into his ear. The next morning, everyone at the clinic was puzzled when they found a box of freshly baked cookies labeled ‘thank you for your urgent care’.

2. One morning, a regular patient’s mother dropped off her child early and mentioned, ‘I’ll be back in an hour.’ But when she returned, the waiting room had changed—all the toys were rearranged into strange patterns, and a small note read: “Come again soon!” Upon closer inspection, the toys revealed a crudely drawn map leading outside. The mother followed it only to discover that the clinic staff had organized a surprise picnic for all patients’ families. Everyone laughed as they realized the note was meant to be fun, not mysterious.

3. In the late afternoon, an exhausted volunteer was sorting through the clinic’s supply closet when she stumbled upon an old, dusty box labeled ‘Emergency First Aid Kit.’ Curious, she opened it—and found nothing but a single, brightly colored lollipop. Smiling, she popped it into her mouth and immediately felt a rush of energy. Later that evening, while helping a fussy baby, she noticed the child calmed down as soon as he tasted the same colorful treat. From then on, every patient received a special lollipop before leaving—all thanks to that mysterious anonymous donor who knew exactly how to make kids happy.

4. After hours, when the clinic was quiet, a neighborhood cat began appearing near the entrance. It always sat in exactly the same spot, staring intently at the closed doors as if waiting for someone who never came. One night, a delivery driver arrived late and saw the cat still there. Smiling, he whispered, ‘Hey, little fella, don’t you know they close at five?’ The cat looked up once more, then trotted off into the darkness. The next morning, everyone asked the driver if he’d seen the mysterious patient who showed up after hours.’
