About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while delivering medical supplies, a truck driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached Parkway Surgery Center, his radio would inexplicably start playing old-time country songs. He shrugged it off as coincidence until other drivers began reporting the same strange phenomenon. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the mysterious music. A local DJ even started broadcasting live from outside the center during delivery hours. Turned out, an old gramophone hidden behind the reception desk was responsible for the serenade. The quirky tune became so popular that patients started arriving early just to catch their favorite song. And now, whenever someone asks about Parkway Surgery Center, people smile and say, 'That’s where they play the best country tunes around!'
2. Late one night, an intern was frantically typing notes into her laptop when she suddenly realized that the same old man always seemed to be waiting outside the clinic's entrance. Curious, she approached him and asked if he needed help. ‘Just wanted to make sure you guys don’t miss your appointments,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye. Turns out, the old gentleman was actually the night janitor who had been cleaning up after everyone left. He’d seen patients coming and going through the window and decided it would be polite to keep an eye on things. From then on, whenever anyone forgot their appointment, ol’ Mr. Clean would gently remind them from across the street—much to the amusement of the staff inside.
3. One afternoon, as a nurse was preparing for surgery, she heard a voice from behind the curtain: ‘Doc, I’m not sure I want this operation after all.’ Curious, the nurse peeked around the curtain and saw nobody there. Just an empty operating table with a forgotten surgical cap waving gently in the breeze. She laughed it off, thinking maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. Later that evening, while packing up, she found a note stuck to the door: 'Doc, sorry I missed my appointment—next time I'll definitely be ready!'
4. One day, after hours of routine operations, a doctor glanced up and saw an unfamiliar face staring back at him from the waiting room mirror. He dismissed it as his imagination until it happened again. Finally, he noticed that everyone in the waiting area was casually nodding along with whatever they were saying. Turned out, it was just a neighborhood gossip group meeting there every afternoon. The doctor never looked surprised again.
