Shands Jacksonville Medical Center Stories

Shands Jacksonville Medical Center: "I was discharged with the word none on my paper as the reason that I came in. They refuse to run every test that they could because my blood work came back normal. I left the hospital with the same pains because they took me as a joke which was obvious by the nurse and doctors tone and body language. I will NEVER deliver at shands nor recommend anyone to go there." - Jamiya
