When I tell you this is the worst hospital in Miami, I mean it, it is the worst hospital in Miami, they’re understaffed and overworked. You have a better chance driving 30 mins to a better hospital as the wait time for this hospital is so extreme that you might die in the lobby. They’re very rude, and they know they’re the worst so they act accordingly. " - Alexandra
