About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kelsey-Seybold Clinic and exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange!’ The clinic staff exchanged puzzled looks until he pointed towards the parking lot. There, among the cars, stood an old wooden bench with no apparent connection to the building. Curious, one of the nurses approached the bench and noticed an old newspaper clipping taped to its back. It read: 'Free Bench for Good Deeds.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was simply someone’s creative way to ask if anyone needed a bench. From then on, whenever a patient felt tired waiting outside, they’d sit there, knowing it was placed there with a smile.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Kelsey-Seybold Clinic and asked the receptionist, 'Excuse me, can you tell me how many times I've been here?' The receptionist thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, ‘You’ve been here exactly 987 times.’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘Ah, I see. And what’s today’s special?’ Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing.

3. Late one night, a janitor cleaning the halls of Kelsey-Seybold Clinic heard a strange humming noise coming from behind a closed door. Curious, he approached cautiously, only to discover… nothing. The door was empty, but the eerie sound lingered on. Suddenly, an old nurse appeared in the doorway and scolded him gently: ‘Oh, you’re still here? That’s just our new air-conditioning unit.’ She smiled warmly and added, ‘It’s been playing that tune since they installed it last week.’ The janitor scratched his head sheepishly and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll go home now.’

4. At dawn, a jogger passing by Kelsey-Seybold Clinic noticed something peculiar: a shadowy figure darting between buildings, muttering, ‘Just one more patient!’ Curious, they followed the shadow and found an elderly doctor, still scribbling notes in his journal. He smiled sheepishly and said, 'I thought I had one last chart to finish.' Turns out he was just catching up on his reading before heading home.
