The Livewell Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning hours, when most clinics were closed and the streets of Portland were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to The Livewell Clinic with an urgent package. As he approached the door, he noticed a faint light flickering inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old doctor dozing off in his chair while a robotic arm gently stirred some test tubes on the counter. Turns out, it was just another night shift for the clinic’s automated system, keeping everything running smoothly even when everyone else was asleep. The delivery driver left his package, chuckled softly, and drove away, wondering if anyone would believe his story.

2. At midnight, when most hospitals were quiet, an orderly at The Livewell Clinic noticed something peculiar. A steady stream of patients kept arriving with identical complaints—‘I feel like I’m being watched,’ they whispered. Curious, the orderly followed one patient down a dimly lit corridor and found nothing but empty rooms. Eventually, one elderly gentleman confided, ‘It’s just my old cat watching me from behind the curtains.’ They both laughed, and ever since then, anyone who feels watched gets a kitten-shaped stress ball instead of an examination.

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver asked the receptionist: ‘Why does your clinic keep delivering boxes so late at night?’ Receptionist smiled mysteriously: ‘Ah, those are our special supplements for detox and regeneration. We deliver them to clients who come in early mornings.’ Delivery driver raised an eyebrow: ‘So you’re like a secret morning elf?’ Receptionist laughed: ‘Something like that!’

4. At nightfall, when most patients had gone home, a nurse was tidying up the last room. Suddenly, she heard a soft knock on the door. She opened the door slightly and peered out—only to see her colleague, a delivery driver, who’d accidentally locked himself out. ‘Guess I’ll be sleeping here tonight,’ he grinned sheepishly. The nurse shook her head, smiling, and ushered him in with a laugh.
