About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their surgeries at UCHealth Surgical Care, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our surgeon today has a rare condition—he only operates on Thursdays.’ A delivery driver, impatiently waiting outside, leaned out of his truck and asked, 'So when does he operate, like, ever?' A nearby nurse smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, he's here every Thursday—just don't tell anyone!'
2. Overhead speakers crackled to life one day at UCHealth Surgical Care, announcing with deadpan seriousness: ‘Attention all staff and patients—please be advised that today’s surgical schedule may experience minor delays due to an unexpected shortage of bandages.’ A nurse overheard it and muttered under her breath, 'Bandage crisis? More like Band-Aid apocalypse!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled 'Emergency Medical Supplies.' He shrugged and said, 'I saw this on my way here and thought you might need it.' The room erupted in laughter, and soon enough, everyone was back to their usual routine—except for the occasional announcement about 'unforeseen delays'.
3. In the quiet hallway of UCHealth Surgical Care, someone left behind an unusual item—a small, brightly colored kite, neatly wrapped and tied to a chair leg. Curious nurses picked it up, wondering whose whimsical gift it might be. As days passed, no one claimed the kite. Eventually, a delivery driver joked that maybe it was a message from a child patient’s imagination. Nurses started leaving notes on the kite—wishes for good health and speedy recoveries. One day, a regular visitor arrived with another colorful kite, explaining he’d been bringing them weekly because ‘someone here clearly needs cheering up.’
4. In the waiting room of UCHealth Surgical Care, a faint humming started late one afternoon. At first, no one noticed—it sounded like a distant refrigerator. But then it grew louder, and everyone turned to look around. Suddenly, an old lady in the corner stood up and announced, 'That's my humming bird!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an excited little bird hiding behind her hat. The day ended with everyone leaving UCHealth Surgical Care feeling lighter and more amused than they had expected.
