Southeastern Dialysis Center Jacksonville

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a mysterious package. As he approached the reception desk, an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair waved him over curiously. The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘It’s just some new equipment for your dialysis machine.’ The old man nodded knowingly, replying, ‘Ah, I see… must be those fancy new filters they keep talking about!’ They both laughed heartily as the driver left, leaving behind a package that turned out to contain nothing more than a bag of ice and a note reading “Keep cool!”

2. A nurse was finishing her shift when she noticed an old man sitting alone in the waiting room. He kept humming softly and tapping his foot on the floor, as if listening to some invisible music. Suddenly, he stood up and started dancing a strange little jig, smiling broadly. The nurse smiled back, thinking maybe dialysis had given him more than just clean blood—maybe it brought him joy too. When she looked away for a moment, he twirled around once more before quietly taking his seat again, still humming.

3. A regular patient was preparing for another routine dialysis session when he overheard two nurses whispering in the hallway. Their voices carried faintly through the open door: 'Did you see that new fish tank they installed?' One of them giggled and said, ‘I wonder if it’s real or just decorations?’ The other replied, ‘Who cares? It looks cool!’ Just then, our regular patient couldn’t help but chuckle to himself—because he knew exactly what kind of fishes those were: ones that never needed cleaning or feeding, ever again.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Southeastern Dialysis Center one afternoon, frowning as he inspected a strange box in the back of his truck. He had never seen anything like it before. Curious, he opened the box and found inside a small potted plant wrapped in newspaper. ‘What on earth,’ he muttered, smiling now. Turns out, someone’s neighbor had accidentally packed their garden gnome instead of dialysis supplies.’
