About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the receptionist at St Stephen’s Gate Medical Practice: ‘Why do patients here always seem so relieved after their appointments?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'They're not relieved—they're just happy they don't have to see you anymore!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he was the practice's unofficial mascot for bad deliveries.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside St Stephen’s Gate Medical Practice and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. He shrugged it off as nothing unusual until he heard it again—a soft, almost musical tone that seemed to come from the waiting room. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty chairs and a softly glowing lamp. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him, ‘Would you like some tea while you wait?’ Turning around, he found himself facing a smiling receptionist who had just opened for her midnight shift. The delivery driver burst out laughing—apparently, someone had left the radio on.

3. A curious neighbor once wondered aloud: ‘Why does Dr. Smith always seem to appear exactly when the clock strikes twelve?’ It turned out that Dr. Smith had a peculiar habit of setting his watch by an old wind-up alarm clock in his office. Every morning, he wound it up just right so that its chimes would ring precisely on the hour—unbeknownst to him, they were also waking him from his lunchtime nap!

4. A delivery driver parked his truck and walked into St Stephen’s Gate Medical Practice. The receptionist raised an eyebrow as he approached the counter with a peculiar smile on his face. ‘Can I help you?’ asked the receptionist, eyeing him curiously. ‘Just here for my annual check-up,’ said the delivery driver, grinning broadly. ‘And could you please remind Dr. Smith that I’m allergic to bananas? He always forgets.’ The receptionist burst out laughing. ‘You’re in luck—he just left for lunch!’
