A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Drayton Surgery, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Please leave your sense of urgency outside.’ Patients filed in, only to discover that their appointments were now scheduled for precisely 15 minutes—no more, no less. A regular complained, but the receptionist smiled and said, “It’s Dr. Drayton’s new method of relaxation therapy.’ Soon enough, an irate delivery driver stormed in, muttering something about being late. The receptionist calmly replied, 'Dr. Drayton's method ensures punctual deliveries too!' And indeed, after half an hour, there was a knock on the door—along came the package, exactly on time.

2. At Drayton Surgery, an old man was counting change in the waiting room when he noticed something odd on the doctor’s desk. A small note read: 'If you’re here for a check-up, add five minutes to your appointment.' Curious, the old man added those extra minutes every time he visited. One day, a delivery driver asked him why his appointments were always so long. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘I’m building up my health reserves!’

3. At Drayton Surgery, a poster suddenly appeared on the reception desk: 'If you are not here for a medical emergency, please wait outside.' Soon enough, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked the nurse, ‘Is this some kind of new experiment?’ The nurse smiled and replied, ‘No, ma’am, it’s just our way of ensuring that only those who really need help get seen.’

4. At Drayton Surgery, a regular patient noticed something odd in the waiting-room trashcan—a small, neatly wrapped package labeled ‘Emergency Kit’. Curious, she opened it and found only an old banana peel, a half-eaten sandwich, and a note that read: ‘For emergencies when your doctor is out to lunch.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from the friendly neighborhood delivery driver who liked to brighten patients’ days.’
