Dr Rodriguez under-diagnosed my 34 year old husband and discharged him. My husband died as soon as we got home from a bilateral PE. He complained of pain the whole time in the hospital and was ignored.

My doctor took care of me when I was in the hospital, he went through all my medical problems and explained me and my family what we could not even understand from other specialists, I felt confident when he was caring for me.

Recently saw this quack while in St. Vincent's Bham. Very inconsistent in decisions. Discharged me while losing blood internally, physically could not stand & walk. I will be reporting him to the AMA, local governing bodies & of course, an attorney.
