About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At St. Francis Emergency Department, a regular patient complained one night: ‘I’m not sick—just lonely!’ The nurse smiled and asked, ‘Really? Then why do you come here every week?’ The next week, the same patient returned with a big smile. ‘I brought some cookies,’ he said. ‘For you nurses.’ The nurse laughed and replied, ‘You’re still not sick, but now I’ll keep you longer just for the treats!'
2. At St. Francis Emergency Department, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. He insisted he needed urgent care for his pet goldfish, claiming it had stopped swimming. After some puzzled looks and a quick consultation, the doctor decided to treat the fish with a gentle warm bath and some soothing music. Miraculously, after just ten minutes, the little goldfish swam off happily into its bowl. The delivery driver, relieved, thanked everyone profusely—until someone pointed out that his car was still parked outside, engine running.
3. At St. Francis Emergency Department, a neighbor dropped by late one night, complaining of insomnia and asking for sleeping pills. The nurse smiled and replied, 'Sir, our emergency department is open only for emergencies.' A delivery driver arrived in a tizzy, claiming his truck was out of gas miles from anywhere. The nurse calmly said, ‘Sir, you’re not having an emergency here—just fill up your tank next door.’
4. At St. Francis Emergency Department, a nurse noticed something peculiar one morning. As she approached the reception desk, she caught a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. Curious, she looked around but saw no sign of baking or any staff member leaving treats behind. The smell grew stronger as she followed it down a hallway, only to discover an elderly volunteer, Mr. Jenkins, quietly baking chocolate chip cookies in his cubicle. Turns out he was preparing for the annual staff appreciation day. Everyone got a cookie—and a good laugh—before heading back to their duties.
