About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were waiting for their turn in Dr. Nick Palmer’s clinic, an old poster caught everyone’s eye. It read: ‘Bring your own bandaid—we’re out of smiles today.’ A regular, noticing the sign with a smile, whispered to himself: ‘That’ll be the day!’ Soon enough, another patient—a delivery driver—walked in, carrying a box under his arm. He cleared his throat and announced, 'I brought some Band-Aids!' The room erupted in laughter, and even Dr. Palmer cracked a smile. 'Finally,' he said, 'someone who understands our motto.' And from that day on, whenever someone needed a smile or a bandage, they knew where to come.
2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Nick Palmer’s free medical clinic, muttering under his breath: ‘Another day, another mystery.’ As he approached the door, he heard Dr. Palmer shouting at a patient: 'Your cholesterol is as high as my bills—we’ve gotta do something about that!' The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, 'This place might be free, but it sure ain’t boring.'
3. At midnight, when most clinics are closed, an old man walked into Dr. Nick Palmer’s free medical clinic carrying a basket of freshly baked cookies. As he approached the counter, Dr. Palmer looked up and smiled warmly. ‘Evening, sir,’ he said, taking a cookie. The old man whispered something only the doctor could hear, then disappeared into the night. The next morning, everyone in town found out that Dr. Palmer had added a new secret ingredient to his famous banana bread recipe.’
4. At sunset, a neighborhood kid kicked a soccer ball towards Dr. Nick Palmer’s clinic, missing the goal but hitting something unexpected. Inside, Dr. Palmer looked up from his microscope and said with a smile, ‘Hey, kid! Soccer balls aren’t part of our inventory, but I can help you with that bump on your head.’ The clinic door swung open wider, revealing not just medical care but also a bag of freshly baked cookies for everyone who needed them.
