About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet hallway of Saint Luke’s Clinic, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. Amongst the usual medical supplies on the loading dock stood an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it and found sheet music from long-forgotten classical pieces. Who left it there? And why? As he played the first notes, everyone in the waiting room stopped what they were doing—even the grumpy old doctor smiled. Turned out, the violin belonged to a regular who’d forgotten it months ago. Now, every Wednesday at noon, you can hear beautiful music drifting through Saint Luke’s Clinic doors.

2. In the early morning, a delivery driver approached Saint Luke’s Clinic with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Who left their lunch here?’ he asked aloud, glancing around the empty corridor. A kindly nurse emerged from behind the door and smiled. 'Oh, that’s Mr. Smith's lunch,' she said. 'He always forgets it when he's in for his weekly check-up.' The delivery driver nodded, shaking his head with a smile. Another day, another forgotten lunch at Saint Luke’s.

3. In the dimly lit waiting room of Saint Luke’s Clinic, a small child pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘why is that teddy bear smiling at us?’ A puzzled mother looked up and saw nothing but plain white ceiling. Then she laughed softly, ‘Honey, it’s just an old teddy bear from the hospital gift shop.’ The little girl giggled back, ‘But Mama, why does everyone here whisper so much?’

4. In the dimly lit waiting room of Saint Luke’s Clinic, an old dog suddenly perked up and started barking at a shadowy figure in the corner. The shadow turned out to be just a delivery driver with a big box under his arm. The dog, thinking it was another patient, settled down again with a wag of his tail. A nurse chuckled and whispered to herself, ‘Saint Luke’s—where even our canine visitors get mistaken for patients!’
