St. Mary’s Medical Center is one of five Tenet Healthcare hospitals in Palm Beach County to score a safety rating of D or F in a recent survey.

On this week's episode of The South Florida Roundup: Corruption charges against former Miami City Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla collapsed – and why the watchdog in this case looks worse than the dog.
