About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients shuffled into HSHS Medical Group Family & Internal Medicine, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your doctor today is Dr. Household Appliance Repair.’ A confused murmur rippled through the waiting room. A delivery driver asked his neighbor, 'Did you hear that?' The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Don't worry, it's just our new doctor.' Later that day, a regular patient walked in with a smile and said, 'Guess what? I finally fixed my blender!'
2. In the waiting room of HSHS Medical Group Family & Internal Medicine, a small dog suddenly bounded in through the door, tail wagging wildly. No one had noticed him entering, and he seemed determined to sit next to every patient, barking softly until they smiled. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the desk, grumbling, ‘What’s with all these dogs today?’ The receptionist shrugged, smiling. ‘Must be our new masseuse,’ she said. ‘She always arrives with her little poodle.’
3. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she scanned it, but no one dared ask what lay inside. Curious, an old neighbor popped his head in and asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, the receptionist replied, 'Just checking the latest secret formula for our flu vaccine!' Everyone laughed, and life returned to normal—until the next morning's mysterious delivery.
4. In the waiting room of HSHS Medical Group Family & Internal Medicine, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a bird?’ Her mother looked up and saw nothing but the usual fluorescent lights. Then they both noticed: every time someone coughed or sneezed, the lights flickered like wings. Finally, an older gentleman cleared his throat loudly. The lights flapped wildly, making everyone laugh. The receptionist smiled and said, 'Welcome to our clinic—where your coughs get a workout!'
