Bonaventure Hospital. He is a brilliant and highly skilled person. Melendez doesn't mess around, is frequently tense about work/business matters, and expects perfection from himself and his residents. However, he does have a lighter and sometimes a humorous side, which occasionally appears when he is not tending to work matters. Also, despite frequently being stern, he is often supportive, especially of his patients who are sick, and of their families and friends.
