About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the waiting room of UW Health’s North Building, a little girl pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘why does that picture move?’ Her mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s just an optical illusion.’ But as more patients began noticing the strange shifting shapes, some started whispering they were seeing different things altogether. Finally, one elderly gentleman cleared his throat loudly and announced, 'I’ve seen enough—those are just old photos in a slide projector!' Everyone laughed nervously, but then realized he was right. The mystery solved, everyone relaxed, except for the little girl who asked her mom why grandpa looked so confused.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one morning, frowning as he struggled with an oversized box. Suddenly, the box started making strange noises—like it was trying to sing 'Happy Birthday' in a deep, gruff voice. The delivery driver tilted his head curiously and opened the box just enough for a small creature to poke its furry face out. It was a squirrel, wearing a tiny party hat and waving a miniature birthday cake. ‘Oh no,’ said the driver, laughing, ‘I think you got the wrong address!’
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one morning, muttering under his breath, ‘Why does it always rain on me?’ Just as he reached for the door handle, a friendly nurse smiled and said, 'Good morning! We’re expecting you.' The delivery driver blinked in surprise, realizing that maybe today was his lucky day after all—even if it did rain.
4. In the early hours of a weekday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic, puzzled by an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. As he approached the door, the hum grew louder and more insistent—like a thousand bees trapped in a box. Turns out, it was just an air conditioner on overdrive, kept running overnight for some mysterious reason. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling wryly as he signed in, thinking, ‘Another day, another mystery solved.’
