A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a doctor was finishing up rounds in the University of Colorado Physicians building, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention staff—your coffee has been upgraded to gourmet blend for the week.’ Since then, everyone’s coffee tastes just a little bit stronger—and no one knows why.' Later that day, a delivery driver remarked to his colleague, 'Did you notice how much more caffeinated everyone seems today?' To which another replied, grinning, 'Probably because someone finally remembered we're not grad students anymore!' And ever since then, whenever anyone asks for extra strong coffee, they get a knowing smile and a whispered, 'University of Colorado Physicians.'

2. One day, an eager medical student entered the University of Colorado Physicians' reception area and noticed something peculiar on the nurse’s desk: a mysterious envelope addressed simply to ‘Future Doctor.’ Curious, she opened it and found… nothing inside. Smiling sheepishly, she quickly closed the envelope and pretended nothing had happened. Later that evening, while studying anatomy, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw an old man smiling warmly and whispering, 'Congratulations, Future Doctor—you’re doing great!' Confused, she looked down only to see the same empty envelope floating gently in mid-air.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the University of Colorado Physicians with a peculiar package marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the reception desk, the intercom crackled to life: ‘Attention all staff—we’ve just received a brain from the future!’ The receptionist blinked twice and said, 'Excuse me? A brain from the future?' She picked up the phone and calmly ordered, 'Send security down, we'll need them for this.' The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Just doing my job, ma’am. It’s got a note saying “urgent”.’

4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the University of Colorado Physicians’ loading dock with a standard box labeled ‘Medical Supplies.’ As he opened the back door, he noticed something odd—a small, sealed envelope addressed to no one in particular. Inside was just a note scribbled on plain paper: 'Please deliver these supplies to Dr. Nobody.' The delivery guy laughed it off and tossed everything into the nearest doctor’s office. Later that day, while chatting with his neighbor, he mentioned the story. Turns out Dr. Nobody was actually a new intern who’d forgotten to sign his name on the envelope.
