Sarasota Memorial Hospital (SMH) has been recognized among the world’s best hospitals in Newsweek’s sixth annual global ranking of hospitals. It is the only hospital in southwest Florida ever to make the list, SMH announced on Feb. 28 2024. But as we see in the opening video, the rating is highly suspect based on the hospital’s past history. Dr. Stephen Guffanti was an emergency room doctor for fifty years but when he came down with Covid he found himself as a mistreated patient in Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Florida. DR. Guffanti also watched his roommate being mistreated by the hospital, whom he tried to help, but that led to his mistreatment by medical personnel at the hospital. Dr. Guffanti eventually checked himself out of the hospital in order to save his own life. Dr. Guffanti survived, his roommate was not as lucky. Had they just listened to this experienced and caring doctor, the roommate would not have died.
