A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy with an urgent order. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange—an old lady was standing in front of the pharmacy’s automatic doors, tapping her cane rhythmically and humming softly. Just as the driver approached, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked him if he’d like some help carrying those boxes inside. Turned out she was just a friendly neighborhood grandmother who liked to keep an eye on things for everyone. The delivery guy ended up having a chat with her while waiting for the doors to open, and left with a smile—and a bag of freshly baked cookies.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, a friendly voice called out: ‘Delivery here!’ A sleepy pharmacist appeared, saying, “Oh, it’s you! Just testing new LEDs for our late-night customers.” The relieved delivery driver left with a smile, never realizing he’d just been part of the pharmacy’s marketing campaign.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy and noticed an ominous sign on the door: ‘Closed for Emergency Stocktaking.’ Curious, he glanced inside through the window and saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman calmly counting pills while humming an old tune. As it turned out, the old man was just Mr. Jenkins, a regular who volunteered his time there once a month. The delivery driver waved cheerfully as he left, thinking how nice it was that someone still took such pride in their work. And every now and then, when things got quiet at night, you could hear soft singing coming from behind the closed doors of the pharmacy.

4. Early in the morning, when most pharmacies were closed, an elderly gentleman walked into the University Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy. He asked for a special prescription, but the pharmacist had never heard of it before. The pharmacist looked puzzled and said, ‘Sir, I’ve been here twenty years, and I’ve never seen that medication.’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘That’s because it’s my secret recipe for perfect omelets!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled pharmacist.
