There always seems to be complaints on TOTV re: our hospital. When those occur, I wonder how many call AND write to the administration. I would think given that...perhaps if everyone did this they'd make efforts to rectify the issues. As dbusonne said (he's an expert given his career with hospitals) some of this occurs due to "high season" and not having adequate staffing. It's NOT just here in T.V. but throughout Florida (and I've heard in Arizona as well) due to all the seasonal people who come here to enjoy the weather and all it has to offer. As our community has grown and continues to grow...it will be jammed/slammed. Too many people also use the ER for medical issues that an Urgent Care can handle. IF you don't have a primary doctor set up here (many seasonals do not) that also plays into the issue as well. Then consider our hospital is a "regional" one so it's not just villagers who are using the facility.
