About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Abrazo Surprise Hospital with an unusual package. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she unwrapped it: inside was a live parrot chirping ‘Hello!’ The receptionist laughed and said, 'Who would send us a talking parrot?' A few minutes later, another delivery arrived—a box of fresh bananas. Turns out, someone had mistakenly sent their pet parrot to the hospital instead of their neighbor across the street.'
2. In the middle of the night, a nurse's voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, patients and staff—your next appointment is with Dr. Sleepytime.’ A sleepy delivery driver dozed off in the waiting room, waking up only when someone gently nudged him and whispered, 'Doctor’s here!' A regular patient chuckled, remarking, 'Welcome to Abrazo Surprise Hospital—where appointments are always on time, even if you’re not.'
3. At closing time, an exhausted nurse locked up the clinic and walked home. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a message from someone calling themselves ‘The Night Visitor’: ‘Your shift isn’t over yet.’ She opened the message warily but saw only a request for help: 'Can you please check on our new baby?' Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who mistyped the number. The End.
4. At lunchtime, when the clinic was emptying out, a regular stopped by the reception desk. He asked the receptionist with a straight face, 'Can I get my prescription for Abrazo Surprise Hospital?' The receptionist looked puzzled but replied calmly, ‘We don’t dispense prescriptions here.’ The man nodded and said, ‘Oh, okay,’ then walked away whistling. Later that afternoon, a delivery driver asked if he could pick up his package from Abrazo Surprise Hospital too. Everyone had a good laugh, and it became known as the place where unexpected deliveries went to be surprised.
