About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while waiting for lab results in the dimly lit hallway of Sutter Fairfield Medical Campus, a regular noticed something peculiar on the wall. A small sign read: ‘If you see something strange or out of place, please ignore it and continue waiting.’ Curious, our regular decided to look closer. On the adjacent wall was another sign: 'And if you feel dizzy, just lean against this one.' Turns out, all the signs were there to help patients relax during their wait. The story became a local legend, reminding everyone that sometimes medical facilities have a sense of humour too.
2. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered the waiting room and muttered to himself, ‘I thought I heard someone say “the doctor will see you now” but maybe it was just my imagination.’ Just then, a young delivery driver walked in, frowning and muttering, 'Why does everyone always show up when I'm on break?' The old man looked up and grinned, 'Maybe you're here for the same reason I am!' They both laughed, and soon enough, a nurse called out, 'Mr. Jones? Your appointment is here.' Turns out they were both there for routine check-ups—just another day at the clinic.
3. One day, a little girl followed her mom into the Sutter Fairfield waiting room. As she looked around curiously, she pointed at a strange shadow on the wall and asked, 'Mommy, what's that funny creature?' Her mother smiled and replied, ‘Oh honey, that's just an old poster of a sea monster from our last Halloween.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the TV, where a carton of yogurt was singing about being delicious. ‘I want that one!’ she declared.}
4. In the early hours of the morning, a sleep-deprived nurse whispered to herself, 'Why does everyone come here when they're already sick?' Suddenly, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in, gasping for breath. ‘I’ve been delivering groceries all night,’ he moaned, ‘and now I’m sicker than half my customers!’ The nurse chuckled and shook her head, muttering under her breath, ‘Welcome to Sutter Fairfield—where even healthy people eventually check in.’
