About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman entered Alexander Medical with a curious expression on his face. As he approached the reception desk, he carefully placed a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper next to his medical records. When asked what it was, he simply smiled and said, ‘Just something I found while walking my dog.’ Later that day, when no one was around, a young intern curiously opened the box. Inside lay a tiny teddy bear wearing a doctor’s hat. The old man had been visiting every month since, leaving behind little toys for the staff. It turned out he was a retired toy maker who wanted everyone at Alexander Medical to smile more.
2. Last week, a delivery driver rushed into Alexander Medical with a worried look on his face. ‘I’ve got something strange here,’ he said, holding up a package wrapped in brown paper. The nurse took it curiously, only to discover that inside was a live goldfish swimming peacefully in a tiny plastic bowl. The nurse carefully removed the fish and placed it gently in a larger tank. 'What am I supposed to do with this?' she asked the delivery driver. He shrugged sheepishly, 'A neighbor ordered some mystery gift.' Turns out, the goldfish became an instant hit among patients, bringing smiles to everyone who saw it.
3. A little girl followed her mother into Alexander Medical, clutching a small toy bear. As they approached the reception desk, she suddenly stopped and pointed excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that statue—it’s waving!’ The mother looked closely but saw nothing moving. Smiling gently, she said, 'Honey, it's just an old statue.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully then added, 'But it waved at ME!' They both laughed as they walked away, leaving behind the bewildered receptionist who was too busy checking in a regular.
4. Last night, as patients shuffled in for their routine check-ups, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention please—if you’re here today because of bad dreams or strange noises, rest assured, it’s perfectly normal.’ Soon enough, an elderly gentleman raised his hand and asked, 'And what if I’ve been hearing whispers from my deceased wife?' The doctor smiled knowingly and replied, 'That’s just your body adjusting to our new HVAC system.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor delivery driver who’d been nervously listening through the door.
