About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the hospital’s loading dock—a large box wrapped in plain brown paper, with no label or markings. He shrugged it off as someone else's mistake and continued unloading supplies. Later that day, an elderly doctor popped his head out of an office window and asked, ‘Who left that mysterious package here?’ Turns out, it was filled with free samples from Mount Carmel’s latest drug shipment—all neatly organized by alphabetical order. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly when he realized he’d delivered them to the wrong place. From then on, everyone called him ‘Mr. Mix-up,’ but at least nobody got sick from taking the wrong medicine.
2. In the quiet hallway of Mount Carmel Health Station, a nurse overheard two janitors whispering one day. ‘Did you see what they left in the supply closet?’ asked one. The other nodded knowingly and replied, ‘It looks like someone forgot to take their coffee machine.’ Curious now, the nurse peeked inside and found an old espresso machine with a note: 'For emergencies only—use wisely.' Turns out, it was left there by a regular who always brought his own beans but never remembered to take it back.
3. Late one night, an orderly heard a strange voice crackling over the hospital intercom: ‘All staff report to your departments immediately—we have a patient from the future!’ Everyone rushed to their posts, curious but cautious. The futuristic patient turned out to be just a regular guy with a broken watch, who thought it was 2099. After fixing his timepiece and laughing it off, he left with a promise never to visit again—and nobody ever saw him around town after that.
4. One day, a curious patient asked the receptionist: ‘Do you ever wonder why the elevator in Mount Carmel always stops for exactly three seconds between floors?’ The receptionist smiled and whispered, ‘It’s because the doctor on duty has to check if his coffee is ready downstairs.’ The patient laughed and said, ‘That must be one strong cup of Joe!’
