About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico, there’s an unassuming clinic called Clínica Familiar. One day, after hours when only a night nurse remained, a delivery driver heard an eerie announcement over the intercom: ‘Please report to reception immediately if you are experiencing symptoms of extreme thirst and unusual cravings for salt.’ Curious, he rushed in and found everyone drinking gallons of water and munching on chips like they were preparing for a marathon. Turned out it was just a new diet fad sweeping through town—‘Saltwater Detox.’ The night nurse grinned, saying, ‘Welcome to Clínica Familiar, where every patient is unique!’
2. Late one night in Miami, a delivery driver pulled up to Clínica Familiar with a box marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the door, he noticed a sign that read: ‘Closed Sundays’—but it was Monday. Curious, the delivery driver knocked gently on the window. A sleepy-looking doctor appeared and asked what he wanted. With a straight face, the driver replied, 'I have an urgent package for you.' The doctor yawned and said, 'Just leave it outside,' before going back inside. Relieved, the driver did as instructed—and promptly fell asleep in his truck until morning.
3. At dawn, a regular walked into Clínica Familiar, confused and rubbing his head. On the door was scribbled: ‘Today is your lucky day—come inside for free advice!’ Inside, everyone was sipping coffee and chatting casually. A delivery driver laughed, 'I came here yesterday because my truck wouldn’t start.' The doctor smiled, 'And today it’s fixed!' The regular shrugged, grinned, and said, 'Guess I’ll be back tomorrow if anything else breaks.'
4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly towards Clínica Familiar, her eyes wide with wonder. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look at that sign—it’s dancing!’ As they approached, the sign was indeed moving gently in the breeze, casting shadows on the wall. A delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Probably just some old wires playing tricks.' But as they walked inside, an elderly neighbor nodded knowingly and added, 'Oh no, that's not wires—just the ghost of Dr. Hernández waving goodbye!' Everyone laughed, realizing it wasn't a mystery but a charming local tale.
