5 worst hospitals in Jacksonville

 

Let’s talk about the five worst hospitals in Jacksonville because when you’re sick you want the best. Avoid these five.

 

Ringside Hospital

 

Ringside Hospital specializes in urgent care. The problem is a lot of the doctors are over at the boxing matches making big bets. Although the hospital is open, has plenty of room and great facilities, most of the medical staff is out gambling.

 

Teapot Hospital

 

Teapot Hospital’s building is shaped like a teapot. That’s kind of cool and cute and quirky but when my arm is broken I don’t care everything in sight is tied to a tea theme. I just want you to set my bone and send me home.

 

Medium Hospital

 

Medium Hospital takes almost any patient which really helps people that can’t afford care and those than need some help with their medical bills. The problem is all of their medical gowns, all of their hospital gowns, only come in size medium. If you’re a larger individual, you’re going to be a little bit cold, and if you’re a smaller person you’re going to be swimming in it. Your gown will sweep the medical facility floor. As you know, this is not the healthiest situation. Avoid Medium Hospital.

 

Defraud Hospital

 

Defraud Hospital. Wow, they put it right in the name! They not only overcharge you, they put on services they didn’t even provide. I was talking to somebody about this earlier today and they said, “Well, that’s every hospital!” I said, “Come on man, don’t be so cynical. I know some good hospitals, but Defraud Hospital is not one of them.”

 

Renegotiate Hospital

 

Number five on the list is Renegotiate Hospital. They give you a bill and then fully expect you to haggle. They not only want to negotiate, they want to renegotiate! Here’s the problem: they’re so into this style that once they settle, it’s like some people we know in high government office—they tend to go back on their word even after the deal is done. You say, “It’s for a procedure I had in 1997! I don’t want these things hanging over my head for two or three decades! You call out of the blue and say, ‘Let’s renegotiate.’ Are you out of your gosh-darn hospital-gown mind? Forget it.”

 

There you go. That’s five of the worst hospitals in Jacksonville.
