About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver parked outside Centro de Salud Santo Domingo and noticed something odd: the lights were on, but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he walked inside and found an old radio playing softly in the empty hallway. Suddenly, an announcement came over the speakers: 'Next appointment in ten minutes.' Startled, the delivery driver rushed back out, only to realize that his truck’s headlights had been left on all along, illuminating the clinic like it was open for business. He gave a sheepish laugh, waved goodbye to the empty reception desk, and drove off into the night.

2. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Centro de Salud Santo Domingo with a peculiar request. He asked the receptionist if he could borrow their stethoscope for just a moment—claiming it was essential for tuning his antique radio. The receptionist, amused but helpful, handed over the stethoscope. After a few minutes of fiddling, the old man declared triumphantly that his radio was now broadcasting perfectly clear signals from across town. As people started gathering curiously around him, he cheerfully announced, ‘Thank you, señoras y señores! Now everyone can enjoy the sweet sounds of my vintage radio!’

3. Late one morning, a young mother rushed into Centro de Salud Santo Domingo, frantically asking if anyone had seen her lost parrot. No sooner had she finished speaking than the bird chirped from behind the reception desk. The doctor looked perplexed but amused as he peered around the desk. ‘I’ve never seen anything like this,’ he said with a smile. The mother laughed nervously and explained that her parrot was famous for escaping whenever there was construction next door. Turns out, the noisy cement mixer must have startled him again.’

4. Early one morning, before sunrise, a neighborhood dog began howling uncontrollably near Centro de Salud Santo Domingo. The sound grew so loud and persistent that even the early birds noticed. As it turned out, an old delivery driver had left his truck’s engine running with the radio blasting country music. The dog must’ve thought it was a party and joined in enthusiastically. By the time everyone woke up, the song had reached its climax—‘Old Dominion’ style—and the whole neighborhood was laughing along.
