About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular sat waiting for their appointment, an odd announcement came over the intercom: ‘Attention patients and staff—your doctor will see you now in Room 13… upside down.’ The patient in Room 13 turned out to be a delivery driver who accidentally fell asleep on the ceiling while delivering snacks to the staff. Everyone had a good laugh when they found him hanging there, complete with pizza box still clutched in his hand.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a soft voice whispering from inside: 'Please bring us some bananas.' Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged and went inside for a banana, only to discover that the voice belonged to an elderly patient who lived across the street and was a regular visitor. They shared a laugh over the mix-up, and from then on, whenever it was banana day, the neighbor would wave cheerfully from her window.

3. Late one night, a nurse was finishing her shift and locking up when she heard a soft knock on the door. Peering through the window, she saw no one. She opened the door just a crack, and out stepped a sleepy-looking delivery driver holding a box of donuts. ‘Forgot these,’ he said with a yawn. The nurse smiled and shook her head, muttering something about how some people never learn.}

4. Late one night, a nurse was finishing her shift and locking up when she heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, she peered through the window and saw nothing out of place—until she noticed the faint glow of an old-fashioned gramophone in the corner, playing a scratchy record that seemed to be from another era. Suddenly, the needle skipped, and an old voice crooned: 'Would you like to buy some cookies?' The nurse jumped back, only to realize it was just the local baker, delivering his weekly batch. Turns out, he had set up his gramophone as a makeshift alarm system.
