A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were filing into Kaiser Permanente Harbor-MacArthur Medical Offices, an elderly gentleman approached the reception desk with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. ‘I’ve brought something for Dr. Smith,’ he said, smiling enigmatically. The receptionist curiously unwrapped it and found inside a box of donuts and a note that read: 'For all the early mornings and long days, enjoy!' Turned out, it was just a kind gesture from a grateful neighborhood resident who wanted to brighten everyone’s day.
2. In the waiting room of Kaiser Permanente Harbor-MacArthur Medical Offices, a small child pointed excitedly at something on the ceiling. When asked what it was, she giggled and whispered, ‘It’s dancing!’ But no one else could see anything unusual. Soon enough, an elderly gentleman in the waiting room leaned over and said softly, 'Child, that's just the doctor's light.' She nodded knowingly and replied, 'Oh, I thought it was dancing too!' Everyone laughed gently, realizing that sometimes even grown-ups can miss the obvious.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Kaiser Permanente Harbor-MacArthur Medical Offices one afternoon with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret.’ The receptionist took one look at the label and said, 'We don't accept Top Secret deliveries here!' The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Just drop it off in the cafeteria—someone there will know what to do.' A few minutes later, a curious nurse found the package and exclaimed, 'Hey, it's just a cake for our staff birthday celebration!' And so, everyone had a good laugh—and a delicious slice of cake.
4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the Kaiser Permanente Harbor-MacArthur Medical Offices heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty hallway. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly—only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from inside one of the closed exam rooms. As he peered inside, he saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. Suddenly, an old nurse’s hat fell off the shelf and landed with a thud. The guard jumped back, heart pounding, until he realized it was just a breeze from an open window. Relieved, he chuckled to himself, ‘Guess I’ll stick to my rounds during daylight hours!’
