About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, an ER nurse was closing up the clinic when she noticed something odd in the parking lot—a bicycle with no rider, its bell softly ringing. She shrugged it off until another night, another bike appeared, and then another. Soon enough, every shift brought a new bicycle, each one perfectly maintained but never occupied. Finally, one morning, the nurse found herself riding the last bike out of curiosity. As she pedaled down the street, she realized that each bike had a small note attached: 'Thanks for keeping us safe!' Turned out, these bikes belonged to the local delivery drivers who were always worried about their safety after dark.
2. At midnight, while the emergency room was nearly empty, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’re out of Band-Aids!’ Everyone froze for a moment, then broke into laughter. The nurse on duty looked around and said, 'Well, I guess we'll just have to improvise!' A minute later, someone whispered, 'I’ve got some at home,' and soon neighbors were bringing in their own supplies. By dawn, UC Health had an impromptu Band-Aid party, complete with coffee and cookies.
3. At dawn, just as the clinic doors were opening, a mysterious note appeared on the reception desk. It read: ‘Emergency Room Now Open for Regular Appointments.’ Soon after, an elderly gentleman walked in, complaining of a sore throat and asking if they had any special throat lozenges. The nurse smiled and replied, 'Sir, we're an emergency room, not a candy shop!' Just then, a delivery driver rushed in with a worried look, saying his package was overdue. Turns out, the note meant that the clinic was now open for everyone—even for a regular cold or missed delivery.
4. At dusk, a concerned neighbor approached the ER entrance and whispered, ‘I’ve been watching your lights flicker on and off for hours.’ The night shift nurse smiled and replied, 'That’s our new energy-saving protocol.' The neighbor shook his head and muttered, 'Next thing you know, they’ll be whispering in the waiting room too!'
