South Baldwin Regional Medical Center: "South Baldwin hospital in Foley, AL. Do not go to the ER go somewhere else if possible. Dr. Cameron was a bit grumpy and unhappy looking and was so rough with the patient that he caused pain and more damage. Take a pill and go is what he did and no wheelchair so had to almost crawl out of ER, intake people were nice and bit untrained to help with a wheelchair in & out. BAD EXPERIENCE THERE." - Dan
