About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he parked near UW Health Laboratory, his coffee cup seemed to fill itself with fresh brew mid-transit. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be an intern at the lab. Turns out, they were testing a new machine that accidentally spilled espresso beans into everyone’s cars. The delivery driver became a local hero for spreading free caffeine around town—until someone started complaining about sticky seats.
2. One night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he pulled up to UW Health Laboratory: ‘Why does my truck always stall here?’ As he jumped out, he noticed an old lady waving from her porch across the street. She smiled and said, 'Honey, your engine's fine—it’s just our lab's magnetic resonance scanner that attracts every metal within a mile!' The delivery driver shook his head, chuckled, and drove off, muttering, 'Guess I’ll never deliver packages here again—too many magnets for my liking.'
3. A delivery driver groaned as he approached UW Health Laboratory one afternoon. ‘Why does everything always happen here?’ he muttered, glancing around nervously. Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, delivery guy! Your package is in reception!' A relieved smile spread across his face as he turned around—only to see an elderly neighbor waving cheerfully from the lab's entrance. 'Everything okay?' she asked innocently. He laughed and shook his head, muttering under his breath, “This place really knows how to make a man sweat.”
4. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of delicate samples. As he placed them on the counter, an odd voice whispered from behind him: 'Make sure you don't drop that!' The delivery driver turned around, but no one was there. Just an empty corridor and a faint echo of laughter. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe his imagination was playing tricks. Later that evening, as he drove home, an elderly neighbor waved and said, ‘Nice job today!’ The driver smiled, realizing that sometimes even labs can use a little magic.’
