About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular patient waited for treatment, someone whispered, ‘Did you hear? The doctor’s office has been haunting patients with its late-night music!’ Suddenly, an old man appeared in the hallway and started humming along. Startled, everyone looked around, but nobody else seemed to notice him. A delivery driver joked, 'Guess he forgot to take his medicine again!' Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the ghost was just an eccentric doctor who never went home.

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up outside the clinic. Suddenly, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside—like someone tuning a guitar just right before midnight. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a young nurse practicing her scales on an old violin. She stopped mid-note, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Welcome, sir. Just needed some late-night practice.’ The driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll trust my GPS more than my ears!’

3. Late one night, a worried neighbor knocked on the clinic’s door and asked, ‘Do you guys ever close?’ The nurse looked up from her chart with a smile and replied, ‘We’re here for emergencies only, but I’ll make an exception for you.’ The neighbor beamed, relieved, and they both laughed as she ushered him inside. Turns out he just needed someone to listen to his worries about a noisy delivery driver.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck near the clinic's entrance. As he got out, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside—a rhythmic buzz that seemed almost musical. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old radio quietly playing on the reception desk. The humming was its faint signal, carried through the open door. Turning around, the driver found himself facing a long line of patients waiting for treatment—none of them seemed to notice or care about the music. With a smile, he realized they were all too busy being taken care of.
