About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s back entrance. ‘Why does it always happen here?’ he muttered, noticing the strange lights flickering inside. As he approached, he saw an old man in a lab coat waving frantically from behind the window. 'Delivery!' shouted the man. The driver smiled and thought, “Probably just another late-night mix-up.” He left with a wave, wondering why everyone seemed so eager for his packages.

2. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, an elderly volunteer arrived with a mysterious box under her arm. She approached the reception desk and asked for the doctor in charge with a serious expression on her face. She entered the doctor’s office without hesitation and placed the box gently on his desk. ‘Doctor,’ she said, ‘I’ve been bringing you these every week for years—you know what they are.’ The doctor smiled sheepishly, pulled out a small bag of peanuts from the box, and nodded. ‘Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, but don’t tell anyone—it’s our little secret.’

3. One morning, a curious neighbor asked: 'Why does the clinic's parking lot seem so empty every weekday?' The staff would only smile and say it was part of their secret wellness program. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re all getting treated for early retirement syndrome!’ Turns out, he was right—every Friday afternoon, everyone from the clinic would show up in the parking lot again, playing volleyball until sunset.

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver approached the clinic’s loading dock. Curiously, he noticed a small box wrapped in brown paper sitting unattended on the pavement. He picked it up, thinking maybe someone had forgotten something. Inside was a note reading: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, our thermos ran out.' Turned out, it was just a neighbor bringing him coffee for his late-night shifts.
