: "Stay away from Melbourne regional hospital. Went in there with a dog bite injury. I had the series of rabies vaccine since I was starting vet school. The doctor stated you need to do these shots per CDC. I refused themsince I had just recently had them. He said are you refusing treatment. I said I’m refusing the shots. They refused to clean the wounds that were still bleeding. He refused to do stitches and they refuse to dress(cover) the wounds. The nurse stated if you refuse the shots we cannot do anything for you. The doctor came out and stated you will die with out the shots. I said you go look again at CDC. Well the next morning the health department calls me. Dr sent them Faldo information. I told her what happen and she stated that I didn’t need them but even if I refused the shot they still should have attended to the wounds" - Monique

Twin Cities Hospital: "Not impressed with Dr. Grounds. Tried to explain my severe headache( not one to get them) and tried to address swollen nodule in roof if mouth along with something on the inside jaw. The guy shine his flashed light for two seconds and blew me off. I am not sure if have a fungal or bacterial infection or some type of parasite in sinuses. He said he wouldn't know how to even treat an amoebas. (Seriously said that) Doesn't make a patient feel very confident.His bed side manner leaves a lot to be desired. Seemed more interested in joking with staff. Won't be coming back to this hospital in the future. The nurse taking blood took three times before he finally was able to get blood. The staff seemed more interested laughing and giggling. Not impressed with this visit!
Will go to Sacred Heart in the future." - Sandra
