Desert Grove Family Medical

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most desert towns are still sleeping, an old pickup truck pulled into Desert Grove Clinic’s parking lot. Its headlights cast eerie shadows on the empty hallway, as a delivery driver stepped out with a mysterious box marked only ‘urgent’. Inside, the doctor raised an eyebrow at the strange package. After opening it, he found nothing but a bag of groceries labeled 'desert emergency.' Turns out, it was just a neighbor who forgot his weekly delivery.

2. Late one night, as Dr. Jenkins finished up her shift, she heard a strange humming sound coming from the hallway. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, an old man appeared out of nowhere, holding a basket of apples. ‘Ah,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I thought I heard someone calling for fresh fruit!’ Dr. Jenkins smiled and shook her head, returning to her desk. The next morning, everyone in town found a free apple in their mailbox.’

3. Late one morning, while Desert Grove Family Medical was just opening its doors, a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar package marked ‘Top Secret’. No one dared ask what it contained. Curious patients started gathering around the door, whispering and pointing. Inside, the doctor took a cautious look, then motioned everyone back. Finally, after much fumbling and beeping, the delivery driver triumphantly announced, 'Just some new equipment for the waiting room!' Everyone relaxed, except for one old lady who insisted on inspecting every plant in the lobby afterwards.

4. Late one afternoon, while Desert Grove Family Medical was closing for lunch, a delivery driver walked in with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘Doc,’ he said, ‘I found this note taped inside your thermos.’ The doctor took the thermos and opened it carefully. Inside was a handwritten note that read: 'Thought you might be thirsty—best water around!' Turned out, a friendly neighborhood kid had sneaked into the clinic's supply room and left a surprise for everyone. Everyone got a good laugh—and some refreshing water.
