About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hethersett Surgery and called out, ‘Doc, I’ve got something for you—your next patient!’ The doctor opened the door groggily, rubbing his eyes. 'What time is it?' he asked sleepily. The delivery driver grinned, holding out a small package. 'Just after midnight, Doc,' he said, 'and your new patient’s prescription arrived.'

2. One morning, a little girl pointed excitedly at Hethersett Surgery and whispered to her mother, 'Mummy, look! The doctor's sign is waving!' The mother smiled and said gently, ‘No darling, it’s just the wind playing tricks on us.’ But as they walked closer, another child chimed in, pointing towards the window where a teddy bear seemed to wave back. That afternoon, word spread quickly around town that Hethersett Surgery had a friendly doctor who waved hello every morning—even if he wasn’t really there.

3. Late one evening, an old man shuffled towards Hethersett Surgery, muttering to himself as he went. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and asked the empty street, 'Doctor, do you know where I left my spectacles?' Just then, a young doctor emerged from the surgery door and replied, ‘Sir, they’re probably still on your nose!’ The old man rubbed his face sheepishly, and the doctor laughed heartily before adding, “Would you like me to check anyway?” The old man nodded, smiling, and together they both looked up at the starlit sky, realizing that sometimes even spectacles can get lost in plain sight.

4. One foggy morning, a jogger stumbled upon Hethersett Surgery and paused, startled by a faint humming sound coming from inside. Curious, the jogger peered through the window and saw an old doctor dozing off while listening to soothing classical music on his headphones. Realizing it was just another day at Hethersett Surgery, the runner smiled and quietly left, leaving behind a note that read: ‘Next time, could you maybe turn down the volume?’
