Texas Children's Pedatrics

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached Texas Children’s Pediatrics, his car radio tuned itself to the same children's song station. He shrugged it off until his little niece started humming the exact same tune when she saw the building. Finally curious, the driver parked outside one evening and peeked inside through the window. To his surprise, he saw a tiny ghostly figure playing an old-fashioned gramophone, its needle eternally stuck on a record of nursery rhymes. The next day, the whole neighborhood was singing along, even the cat joined in with a peculiar meowing rhythm. Everyone agreed that maybe Texas Children’s Pediatrics had its own secret DJ after all.

2. One day, while waiting for his child’s appointment, an impatient father overheard two nurses whispering in the hallway. ‘Did you hear?’ one said, pointing towards the empty examination room. ‘Every time that door opens, it’s like someone is calling out “come back”!’ Curious, another nurse peeked inside and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. 'It’s probably just the wind,' she shrugged. Just then, a delivery driver walked by with a big smile, thinking he heard a baby laughing from within. The father couldn’t help but laugh, realizing maybe the place wasn’t so quiet after all.

3. Late one evening, as a nurse was tidying up, she heard a strange humming coming from behind the closed doors of the examination rooms. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing but shadows until she noticed a small flashlight moving back and forth. Following its beam, she found an exhausted delivery driver dozing off after making his last drop-off. ‘Guess I fell asleep on my feet,’ he yawned, stretching and smiling sheepishly.

4. Late one morning, as a nurse was preparing breakfast for her shift, she heard a familiar voice from down the hall: ‘Hey Doc, how come you never close?’ Curious, she followed the voice and found an old delivery driver dozing in a waiting room chair. 'Doc?' he mumbled sleepily. She giggled softly, realizing it must be his nickname for the coffee machine. The legend of Texas Children’s Pediatrics lives on.
