Baptist Hospital: "Baptist Hospital has some great physicians but the hospital itself is so filthy from neglect that it stinks throughout. In my stay over 8 days the room was not cleaned once , there are roaches crawling across the floors and in light fixtures. On 2 separate occasions a patient from another part of the hospital broke into my room late at night, the second time I was in the room and caught him. Great doctors , filthy disgusting hospital !" - Ronald
