I am truly happy for the people who have gone to The Villages Hospital and gotten good care.
I'm not sure, as someone pointed out, that the people posting actually read my letter as much as they picked bits and pieces and dissected them. If it was just one thing that was the problem... Hey.... You would be right. But having a staff not listening to the patient is scary to me.
Since then, I have been back to The Villages hospital with my niece... There were again issues that I won't belabor you with here. Mostly they were under staffed. BTW... are you people aware that if the hospital can't handle the incoming patients, they can divert them to another hospital? There are other hospitals to divert to in this area.
I digress.....
She was transported to Shands Hospital. We met her there. What a difference. Young cutting edge doctors, cutting edge equipment, and teams working for her care at 10:30 at night... Surgery was scheduled this morning and it went well. If I have to go to the hospital... I will take the chance to go to Shands for my care! Impressive!!!!!
