Boulder Medical Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Boulder Medical Center quieted down, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every few weeks, a small dog would appear in the parking lot, sniffing around the loading dock. It never barked or approached anyone—it just stood there for a moment before vanishing into thin air. Curious, the delivery driver followed the path the dog took one night and found himself standing in front of an old janitor’s closet. Inside was nothing but dusty mops and brooms—until he heard a faint whimper. A tiny puppy peeked out from behind a stack of boxes, clearly lost. The next morning, everyone at the hospital laughed as they watched the little guy trotting happily through the lobby, now with a new collar that read ‘BMC Paw Patrol.’

2. Late one night, after hours of silence, a nurse’s voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, patients and staff—please be advised that our new air purifier has been programmed to hum like a contented cow.’ Soon enough, everyone in the hospital was humming along, thinking it was part of some strange relaxation therapy. Even the doctor on duty started whistling a gentle tune. Then, just as suddenly as it began, the humming stopped. A moment later, an exhausted delivery driver asked a nearby nurse, 'Did you hear that? It sounded like a happy cow!'

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a janitor discovered a mysterious note taped to the door of the Boulder Medical Center's staff kitchen. The note read: 'Please move all leftover donuts to the break room fridge—someone’s dieting.' The janitor smiled and shook his head, knowing exactly who had written it. Turned out, one of the doctors was on a strict diet but couldn’t resist those delicious office treats.

4. Late one night, as the Boulder Medical Center lights dimmed, a delivery driver heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, he approached and found an old vending machine playing some strange techno tune. Turns out, it was stuck on repeat since lunchtime. The next day, everyone joked that maybe the machine had been dancing all night long.
