A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the UNLV Medicine Pediatric Center parking lot—a small, rusted bicycle with no owner in sight. Curious, he followed the bike’s trail and found it leading to an empty office where a teddy bear was left behind. Turns out, it belonged to a little patient who sneaked out for some fresh air on her way home. The delivery driver became a neighborhood hero that day—now everyone jokes that UNLV has its very own ‘bicycle taxi service’.

2. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside UNLV Medicine Pediatric Center and heard an unusual sound coming from the parking lot. ‘Did someone just say “Where’s my stethoscope?”’ he wondered aloud. Curious, he approached the source of the noise and found a little boy standing there, holding a tiny stethoscope and whispering, "I’m lost, can you help me find Dr. Smith?" The delivery driver smiled, picked up the kid, and together they searched until they found the pediatrician's office. As they walked away, the boy asked, 'Are you always this nice?' To which the driver replied, 'Only when I hear a lost stethoscope calling.'

3. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside UNLV Medicine Pediatric Center. As he walked towards the entrance, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, parents of little ones! Your baby’s diaper is calling for help—please come to the fourth floor!’ Curious, the delivery driver rushed up to the fourth floor and found nothing but empty rooms and quiet babies. Just then, a voice came from behind him: 'Hey, buddy! That was my joke!' A friendly pediatrician smiled warmly. The driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even hospitals can use a good laugh.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to UNLV Medicine Pediatric Center with a puzzled look on his face. He’d just seen an unusual shadow moving between the buildings. Curious, he followed the shadow around the corner and found… nothing but a cat stretching in the morning sunshine. ‘Man,’ he thought, shaking his head, ‘maybe I should get my coffee before these deliveries.’
