About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were filing into Lutheran Medical Group for their routine check-ups, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone—your doctor today is Dr. Good Humor!' As people looked around puzzled, a delivery driver stepped forward and said, ‘I’m Dr. Good Humor, here to deliver your prescriptions!’ The room erupted in laughter, and from that day on, every Wednesday became ‘Good Humor Day’ at Lutheran Medical Group.

2. In the waiting room of Lutheran Medical Group, a small dog appeared out of nowhere, trotting between chairs and wagging its tail. No one claimed him, but he seemed perfectly at ease, sniffing around each patient's feet before settling next to an elderly lady who promptly started petting him. Finally, after twenty minutes of gentle stroking, the dog yawned and lay down next to her, fast asleep. A young doctor passing by whistled softly and said, ‘Another successful case of canine hypnotherapy.’ Everyone laughed, including the old lady, who later told her neighbor over coffee that it was the best wait she’d ever had at Lutheran Medical Group.

3. In the parking lot of Lutheran Medical Group, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the wheelbarrows used for construction. Curious onlookers gathered around to see what looked like an old wooden chest. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just an old picnic basket filled with sandwiches and apples. A kind nurse explained that it was meant for her husband, who worked late shifts there. The crowd laughed, realizing they’d been fooled by an overactive imagination. Since then, whenever someone spots ‘something suspicious,’ everyone knows to check if it’s actually lunchtime for a hardworking doctor.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Lutheran Medical Group's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of them. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small radio playing old hymns. Shaking his head, he finished his shift and went home. Later that week, a neighbor asked him if he’d seen any strange activity near the hospital. Smiling, he replied, ‘Just some religious tunes in a box.’
