About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular was settling in for his usual check-up, an announcement crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention, please be advised that our waiting room thermostat has malfunctioned and is now set to Arctic temperatures.’ A delivery driver from across the river rushed inside with hot coffee for everyone, muttering something about never trusting electronic devices again. The regular patient grinned, pulled out his phone and announced proudly: 'I told you so—my thermometer app says minus twenty degrees!'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and noticed something odd—a faint, sweet scent wafting from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual until he heard it: a soft, rhythmic humming coming from the waiting room. Curious, he slowly opened the door, only to see an old man dozing off in a chair, gently singing lullabies to himself. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly left, deciding that some places are best left mysterious. Back home, he told his wife over dinner, ‘I think I just delivered to Santa Claus Clinic.’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and noticed something odd—a small dog peeking curiously through the fence, its tail wagging despite the quiet hour. As he approached, the little dog bounded towards him, wagging so hard his whole body shook. Startled, the driver jumped back, accidentally knocking over a crate of medical supplies. A moment later, an embarrassed voice called from inside: ‘Hey, watch where you’re going! That’s my prized poodle!’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and asked the guard, ‘Is it normal for patients here to come out wearing only their hospital gowns?’ The guard shrugged and replied, 'Not really.' Just then, a patient emerged from the entrance, wrapped in nothing but a thin hospital gown, her hair wet and towel around her head. She smiled and said, 'Oh, I thought they were giving me a spa treatment!' The delivery driver looked at each other, shook their heads, and muttered, 'Welcome to The Elliot at River’s Edge.'
