About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Ascension Medical Group usually buzzed with activity, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the parking lot was filled with cars, but no patients were rushing inside. The doors stood wide open, yet not a soul stirred. Curious, he walked closer and saw through an open window that everyone was hunched over their phones, completely absorbed in some new app or game. Turns out, Ascension had accidentally scheduled a staff meeting during peak hours—everyone was just waiting for it to start!}
2. At dusk, while waiting for his appointment, an elderly gentleman overheard two nurses whispering in the hallway. ‘Did you hear?’ one asked, ‘the doctor’s new coffee mug collection is out of control!’ ‘I heard he has more mugs than patients,’ giggled the other nurse. Just then, a young doctor rushed past them, muttering under his breath, ‘Not another broken mug!’ The old man smiled and thought to himself, ‘Maybe I’ll bring him some tea next time.’
3. In the early morning hours, before patients arrived, Ascension Medical Group’s intercom crackled to life with an unusual announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new policy is “No talking in the waiting room.” Effective immediately.’ Soon after, a regular patient—a gruff old man—whispered to his companion, ‘Guess they’re afraid someone might slip up and say something like, “Doctor, I think my leg’s broken” or “Can you check if my heart’s still beating?”’ Everyone burst out laughing, breaking the eerie silence and turning what could’ve been creepy into a warm memory for everyone who’d ever waited there.
4. In the middle of the night, as Ascension Medical Group lay quiet, a delivery driver heard faint music coming from inside one of the exam rooms. Curious, he peeked in and found an old radio playing soft jazz, while a doctor dozed off in his chair. Turns out, it was just an ancient alarm clock that no one had bothered to turn off since the nineties. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
