About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, an urgent delivery driver rushed into the clinic’s emergency room. As he approached the reception desk, he noticed something odd—a small dog sitting quietly in one corner, its eyes fixed on a spot above everyone’s heads. The receptionist looked up and smiled, ‘Oh, hello there little fellow! Looks like you’ve been waiting for someone.’ The dog yawned and trotted over to greet the delivery guy, who scratched his head, puzzled but amused. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood mutt that had mistakenly wandered inside. Everyone laughed as they watched him trot back outside, tail wagging.

2. One morning, a regular arrived early for his check-up and noticed something peculiar in the waiting room trashcan—a small envelope with his name on it. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘I fixed your medicine machine last night.’ The old man chuckled as he read the note aloud to the receptionist. She smiled warmly, saying, 'That must be our friendly neighborhood tech guy—always fixing things around here!' The regular shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes miracles come from unexpected places.

3. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a jogger passing by Cathedral Square noticed something unusual: a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. Curious, they followed the shadow until it vanished into the emergency room entrance. Inside, a sleepy nurse asked if anyone had seen a strange man rushing in. Turns out, it was just an over-caffeinated delivery driver who mistook the ER for Starbucks.

4. At midnight, when the streets of Columbia were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ascension Clinic. The air was filled with a strange, sweet scent that lingered around the building. As he approached the entrance, a soft voice whispered, ‘Delivery for Dr. Johnson.’ Inside, an old nurse chuckled and said, ‘That must be you, Mr. Delivery Driver—you’re always here at odd hours!’ With a smile, the driver replied, ‘Well, someone has to keep these patients alive!’
