About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Promedica’s waiting room when a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar package. The nurse on duty glanced curiously as he approached the counter. The delivery driver explained it was just some medical supplies for a new patient. As he opened the box, everyone saw inside—a giant bag of marshmallows labeled ‘for nebulizer use.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered s’mores ingredients instead of asthma medication. Everyone laughed, including the embarrassed neighbor who’d placed the order.

2. While browsing through old medical journals one day, a regular noticed something peculiar—all the patients listed had exactly six fingers on their left hand. Curious, our regular mentioned it to his friend, a delivery driver, who happened to be visiting Promedica that very week. Turns out, the doctor there was simply compensating for the lack of staff during lunchtime by using his own six-fingered hand to sign charts more quickly. Moral of the story? Always check if your doctor has an extra digit before scheduling an appointment.

3. In the early hours of dawn, while Promedica’s doors were still locked tight, a faint humming sound began drifting from within the building. Curious neighbors peered through their windows and wondered: was it a ghostly doctor or just an old refrigerator coming to life? As the hum grew louder, someone suggested it might be a new air conditioning unit. But when a delivery driver arrived later that morning, he found only boxes of aspirin and band-aids—nothing mechanical. Turns out, it was just a colony of bees nesting in the vents, making everyone believe in ghost doctors for a day.

4. At midnight, when even the city seemed asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Promedica's loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL FULL MOON’. As he approached the door, a friendly nurse asked, ‘Anything special tonight?’ The driver grinned and replied, ‘Just a full-moon package for Dr. Smith.’ She laughed and said, ‘Dr. Smith never leaves until dawn—you’ll be here a while!’ And so began their annual tradition of waiting together, sharing coffee and gossiping until the moon set.
