• The one nice nurse (who spoke English) who kept us calm and told us to stay inside the hospital for the night, but when it was day time to get an ok to travel and leave or go to another hospital ASAP.
• Dirty, almost no English spoken, very dangerous outside after sunset, 100% absolute chaos because of a language barrier.

“If you are injured on a flight which lands in Miami and need medical assistance while a Miami international airport you probably will be taken directly to "Miami Metropolitan Hospital", formerly known as "Pan American Hospital". If you speak Spanish you may be ok, at least to understand what is going on once you arrive at the hospital. No one will speak English, or it will be very badly broken English if they try. Remember, this is your life/body youre dealing with and you might not know why they are pointing the x ray at your chest. Try to get stable and get out of this hospital. You'll probably need a note to get back on the plane from one of the doctors so be prepared to simply ask to be cleared to fly, after your stable, and get home to your real doc! .”

• Nothing.
• Everything.

“Run, dont walk, get out of your wheelchair, and run away from this hospital. It is awful, it is dirty, no one speaks English, and it floods in the rain. Get in a taxi and go to Jackson memorial. If you are stuck there, pray!”

• No positive, except these people are gambling with people lives.
• Bad administrative hospital. Out of 10 staffs, 9 didnt speak English.

“The majority of the staffs do not speak English. This hospital is close to Miami international airport, where communication is impossible. A friend of mine was flown to the emergency unit, straight from the airplane and many of the staffs there did not understand English. My friend got so frustrated that she checks herself out. ”
