About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn in La Jolla, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Urgent Care La Jolla with an unusual package. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she unwrapped it—inside was a live octopus. The doctor examined the squirming creature and declared, ‘This is clearly not an emergency!’ With a smile, he added, ‘But I’ll make sure our fish tank gets some interesting new inhabitants.’ And so, the octopus became a local celebrity, often seen swimming around during slow afternoons, while a regular patient quipped, ‘Guess Urgent Care La Jolla means urgent… or just care for unusual critters!’
2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up outside Urgent Care La Jolla with an urgent load of vaccines. As he approached the entrance, a sign flashed ominously above the door: ‘ONLY REAL PATIENTS ALLOWED INSIDE.’ The delivery driver knocked nervously and a nurse peered out suspiciously. ‘Only real patients,’ she repeated sternly. He cleared his throat and said confidently, ‘I’m here for my annual flu shot!’ The nurse rolled her eyes but waved him in. Later that night, as everyone slept, a neighbor heard strange noises coming from inside Urgent Care. Turned out it was just the delivery guy snoring softly after getting his vaccine.
3. At sunset, a delivery driver pulled up outside Urgent Care La Jolla with an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the door, he noticed a regular patient waving frantically from inside. ‘What’s in it?’ asked the doctor curiously as they unwrapped the package together.
‘Just some flowers for my wife,’ replied the delivery driver sheepishly. ‘I thought she’d like them, but I forgot it was Valentine’s Day.’
The regular patient laughed and said, ‘Now you know why I always bring mine here—urgent care or urgent love!’
4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up outside Urgent Care La Jolla with an unusual package. The receptionist glanced curiously as he approached the counter and whispered into her microphone: ‘Code Pink — patient has just arrived with a severe case of hiccups.’ Inside, everyone burst out laughing when they saw what was causing the hiccups—a tiny kitten had snuck into the bag! The doctor carefully removed it, and soon both the cat and the hiccuping patient were happily on their way home.
