About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet neighborhood of Minneapolis, a regular patient asked the doctor one morning, ‘Why does it smell like fish every time I come here?’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Ah, that’s because our receptionist loves sushi so much she keeps her lunch in the office fridge.’ The patient laughed and said, ‘Now I get it!’ And from then on, whenever someone mentioned the fishy scent, everyone just nodded knowingly—except for the new intern who looked a little queasy.
2. In the small town of Boulder, Colorado, a delivery driver once asked the receptionist, ‘Is it true that Swedish Primary Care has an elevator for every patient?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Well, not exactly. But we do have a special lift for patients who need assistance.' The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully before asking his next question: 'So, does that mean I can ride it too?' Everyone laughed as the receptionist shook her head and said, 'Only if you’re in a wheelchair!'
3. At Swedish Primary Care in Boston, a new nurse on her first day looked up from her clipboard and said, ‘Ma’am, I see you’re allergic to aspirin? How did that happen?’ The elderly lady smiled sweetly and replied, ‘Oh, it happened when I was young—ate too many aspirin candies my neighbor gave me!’ The whole room burst into laughter, including the poor new nurse who later became everyone’s favorite.}
4. At Swedish Primary Care in Seattle, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance with an unusual package. As he unloaded it into the storage room, he noticed something odd—an old wooden box labeled ‘Emergency First Aid Kit’ but filled with nothing but jellybeans. Curious, one of the nurses opened the box and found only colorful jellybeans inside. She laughed out loud, thinking it was some practical joke. Later that day, when a regular patient arrived for his check-up, everyone gathered around him, asking if he’d brought any sweets from Sweden. The man just smiled and said, 'No, I’m not Swedish, but these are pretty good jellybeans!'
