A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver parked his van near MassGeneral for Children and noticed something strange: every time he looked up at the neon sign above him, it seemed to blink ‘Help Me’ in morse code. Curious, the driver approached the sign, but when he got closer, the blinking stopped altogether. Suddenly, an old lady from across the street called out, 'Sonny, what’re you doing? That’s just our new security light!' Relieved, the driver waved goodbye and drove off—only to realize later that the neon sign had been fixed the next day with a bright, cheerful smiley face.
2. One night, a delivery driver parked his van near MassGeneral for Children and noticed an unusual shadow moving between the trees. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out, but no one answered. Curious, he followed the shadow into the shadows until it led him to a small bench where a stray cat was sleeping. Startled, the feline jumped off the bench and ran towards him, leaving behind a note scribbled on a piece of paper: 'Thanks for the fresh milk!' The delivery driver smiled, realizing that the mysterious figure had been his neighbor's pet.
3. One foggy morning, a nurse at MassGeneral for Children heard strange whispers coming from the empty hallway outside her office. Curious but cautious, she followed the eerie sounds only to find an old stethoscope bobbing up and down on its own. As she watched in amazement, the stethoscope suddenly started playing ‘Happy Birthday’! Turning around, she saw a little girl peeking out from behind a corner, smiling shyly. 'I thought you might like some music,' whispered the child. The nurse smiled back warmly, realizing it was just another day at MassGeneral for Children.
4. Early one autumn morning, a doctor at MassGeneral for Children glanced out the window and saw something peculiar—a small bird had inexplicably taken up residence on the roof of the medical center. Curious, she opened the window slightly, hoping to gently coax it inside for examination. To her surprise, the bird seemed more interested in the breakfast croissants from the cafeteria than any medical attention. With a shake of its head, it flew off, leaving behind a crumbly trail and a bemused doctor who wondered if maybe the bird just needed a snack more than a check-up.
