About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Ball Dermpath with a crate of samples. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat was peering through the window, muttering to himself.} The old man startled when he heard footsteps and quickly ducked behind a nearby microscope. The delivery guy knocked on the door, asking if everything was okay. A hoarse voice replied from inside, ‘Just admiring your excellent work, son.’ Turns out it was just an enthusiastic dermatopathologist who stayed late studying rare skin conditions. The two ended up chatting over coffee, bonding over their shared passion for medicine.

2. One morning, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom: ‘Mommy, what’s that funny sign on Dr. Smith’s wall?’ The mother leaned in closer and giggled, replying softly, 'Oh honey, that's not a sign—it's just an old microscope.' They both laughed, realizing how easily children can imagine things. The little girl nodded knowingly, already forgetting her initial curiosity but leaving behind a smile.

3. One day, a curious dog wandered into Ball Dermpath and started sniffing around the reception desk. The receptionist looked down at the little pooch with a smile, but when she glanced back at her computer screen, she noticed something odd: the patient list had mysteriously changed. The receptionist blinked a few times, then leaned closer to the monitor. Sure enough, the names were now listed in alphabetical order of their favorite snacks—‘Mr. Chocolate Chip Cookies’ was ahead of ‘Ms. Fresh Vegetables.’ She burst out laughing, causing everyone else in the waiting room to turn around curiously. After explaining what happened, they all agreed it was probably just a quirky glitch from Dr. Dermpath’s new software.

4. One morning, a jogger passing by Ball Dermpath noticed something peculiar on the hospital parking lot—a strange, transparent container labeled ‘Biopsy Specimens’. Curious, she peered inside and found herself staring at tiny, perfectly preserved marshmallows. Confused, she quickly ran into the hospital and asked a nurse what those were. The nurse smiled and said, 'Oh, those are just our new biopsy markers—we use them for quality control.' The jogger blinked several times before realizing it was probably time for her morning coffee. Back home, she mentioned it to her neighbor who laughed and said, 'Next time you see anything unusual, maybe try asking a doctor first!'
