The Ohio Surgery Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the clinic’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he left it be and continued his rounds. Later that day, a curious nurse found the package while taking out the trash. She opened it carefully, revealing nothing more than a note reading: 'Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood ghost surgeon!' Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank from a local trick-or-treater.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his routine check-up and overheard a peculiar announcement over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention patients and staff—please be advised that our waiting room thermostat has been set to “surgery” mode.’ Confused and shivering, he looked around, only to see everyone else bundled up in blankets. Turns out, it was just a glitch—they were actually on ‘air conditioning’ mode! The embarrassed doctor later apologized with a cup of hot coffee from the clinic’s vending machine.

3. One afternoon, a nurse was organizing charts when she heard a voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, but what exactly do you guys do here?’ She turned around and saw an elderly gentleman in a plaid shirt. 'Oh,' she said, 'we're just a small surgery center.' He nodded thoughtfully. 'So, you're not like those big hospitals where they fix cars?' Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing.

4. One morning, as patients were arriving for their appointments, a strange announcement came over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention all surgeons—your scalpels are now on sale in the gift shop.’ Surprised looks turned into laughter when one surgeon asked if he could buy anesthetic instead of a scalpel. The receptionist replied, 'Only if you bring it back after your next procedure!' A delivery driver later reported seeing a man leaving with a box marked 'sterile instruments,' but everyone agreed it was just another urban legend.}
