About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kellum Pediatric Clinic and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know why babies here never cry when they get shots?’ The receptionist thought for a moment and replied, ‘Because their parents always bring them here in a brand-new car!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile and said, ‘No, ma’am. Because Dr. Kellum has a secret stash of cookies hidden behind the nurse’s station.’ Everyone laughed, including the kids who were getting their shots that day.
2. One day, a worried parent rushed into Kellum Pediatric Clinic with their child in tow. ‘Doctor,’ they exclaimed, ‘why does every toy here seem to be staring back at us?’ Dr. Kellum calmly replied, 'Oh, those are not toys, they're our observation dolls.' The relieved parent asked curiously, 'Observation dolls?' To which Dr. Kellum smiled and said, 'Yes, they help us monitor patients' reactions during check-ups!'
3. In the waiting room of Kellum Pediatric Clinic, someone had left behind an old, dusty suitcase. No one claimed it, so the nurses placed it in storage. But late one night, when everyone else had gone home, the suitcase began playing soft classical music on its own. Finally, a curious nurse opened it and found only a stack of old photos—each showing children laughing and playing together. It turned out that the suitcase belonged to an elderly volunteer who visited regularly but never mentioned it before. The next day, the whole clinic was buzzing with stories about the mysterious musician, and everyone agreed it brought them closer as a team.
4. At night, when the clinic was quiet, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the halls. No one could identify its source, but it seemed to come from Dr. Kellum’s office. One night, an exhausted delivery driver heard the humming and thought it was his stomach growling. He knocked on Dr. Kellum’s door, asking for some ‘peace pills.’ The doctor smiled and gave him a lollipop instead, saying, ‘Sometimes, our bodies just need a sweet treat!’
