John B. Amos Cancer Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd as he approached the John B. Amos Cancer Center. A small dog, usually shy around strangers, ran up to him wagging its tail and insisted on sniffing a large box marked ‘Hazardous Materials.’ The driver scratched his head, puzzled but amused. He opened the box carefully, finding only a basket of fresh cookies labeled 'Get Well Soon'. Turns out, someone’s neighbor had baked them for patients and accidentally packed them with the wrong delivery slip. The little dog was just trying to help spread some cheer.

2. One day, a delivery driver approached the John B. and heard an old lady whispering, ‘Finally, someone who knows how to park!’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another friendly Tennessee greeting. Later that week, he found himself parking next to the same lady again. She whispered, 'And you’re still as good at it!' Turned out she had a thing for people who could parallel park like pros.

3. A curious nurse was checking her phone during a break when she saw a shadowy figure darting through the hallways of the John B. Amos Cancer Center. Suddenly, her phone lit up with a message from a colleague: ‘Did you see that strange guy in scrubs? He keeps disappearing into rooms without patients!’ The nurse chuckled, thinking it was just another prankster—a regular who liked playing tricks on staff. Later, everyone joked over coffee that maybe he was an alien doing research on cancer treatments.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver approached the John B., wondering if the early morning silence meant everyone had finally stopped coming. As he pulled up, an old man in a hospital gown appeared from around the corner, waving cheerfully and calling out, ‘Morning, delivery guy! Finally here with my breakfast!’ The driver smiled, shook his head, and muttered under his breath, ‘Another day, another mystery patient.’
