MemorialCare Urgent Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a young boy named Max often walked home from school past MemorialCare Urgent Care. One day, as he passed by after dark, he noticed something odd—a small dog kept darting into the parking lot and then running away every time someone approached the entrance. Finally, one evening, an old man walking his golden retriever entered the lot. The dog ran towards him, wagging its tail furiously. Max watched in amazement as the animal led the man straight to the urgent care’s door—turning out to be the vet on duty that night. Since then, whenever anyone sees the little dog, they know it means ‘vet visit’ is imminent.

2. At nightfall, an elderly woman parked her car outside MemorialCare Urgent Care and muttered under her breath, ‘I swear I saw someone walking through that wall!’ The staff just shook their heads and smiled, used to such odd tales. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, rubbing his head and saying, 'Man, that wall sure is solid tonight!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another one of those stories.}

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to MemorialCare Urgent Care and noticed a sign taped to the door: ‘Closed for emergency repairs until further notice.’ He shrugged and went inside anyway—only to find the waiting room filled with people reading old newspapers and playing checkers. A regular patient looked up from his newspaper and said, 'Welcome to our little gathering, friend.' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, realizing he’d stumbled into an impromptu community meeting. As dawn broke, everyone filed out, leaving behind only empty checkers pieces and crumpled newsprint. The next day, MemorialCare reopened as usual, but rumors persisted that once a month, on full moons, the waiting room would fill again.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to MemorialCare Urgent Care and noticed a mysterious figure leaving through the staff entrance. The delivery driver followed the silhouette inside but found only an empty hallway and a misplaced janitor’s cart. Smiling at his own paranoia, he went back outside, only to discover that the sun was already up and his coffee had gone cold. That night, he brought donuts for everyone as an apology—and because it seemed like the right thing to do.
