About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most clinics are quieting down, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside South Plains Bariatric Clinic. A large, furry creature seemed to be lurking near the parking lot, its shadow growing larger with each passing minute. Curious, the delivery driver approached cautiously, only to discover it was just a big, fluffy dog that had gotten lost from a nearby vet clinic. The creature’s shadow grew even bigger as it wagged its tail and ran towards a friendly-looking neighbor, who promptly offered him some tasty treats. By morning, the whole neighborhood knew about the ‘monster’—and now everyone stopped by for a quick visit and a laugh.

2. Late one night, while an orderly was preparing charts in the dimly lit hallway, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the closed offices. Curious, he approached and peered through the glass door, only to see a shadowy figure wearing surgical scrubs singing along to an old country song. The figure turned around suddenly, revealing itself to be just an elderly doctor humming along to his favorite tune. Startled, the orderly asked him what he was doing there so late at night. With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor replied, 'Just practicing my country-western dance moves for when I retire.'

3. Late one morning, as a receptionist was organizing patient folders, she overheard two nurses whispering about unusual activity near the clinic's parking lot. Curious, she followed their gaze and saw only a delivery driver struggling with a heavy box. Turns out, he’d accidentally left his lunch in the car and thought someone had stolen it. The nurses burst into laughter, calling him ‘the newest patient’ for the rest of the week.

4. At dawn, when most clinics are emptying out, a cleaning lady heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our bariatric clinic has temporarily run out of patience.’ Confused, she looked around and saw no one else was listening. Suddenly, a voice from behind said, 'Ma’am, did you miss the part where it said “temporarily”?' Turns out, it was just a misunderstanding between a regular and a delivery driver who had left their bags in the wrong room.
