Went into Emergency room at 4/22/ 4:30am about 6 people there. Moved from waiting room to a chair inside by 9:00 and then moved to a room by 10:00 am. They wanted to put a IV in me but nurse ? didn't know why - he then told me they needed a urine sample but they already took one when I first came in. I had serious urinary issues that they couldn't resolve and suggested I go home and contact a urologist. I refused and asked them if the had a urologist on call and they said yes but didn't know where he was. When I insisted on a urologist the ER Dr came back back in later and said he talked to a urologist and he suggested what to do.They did put me on strong antibiotics and did other procedures. Left the ER about 2:30Pm and every room and people in the hallway and the ER waiting room totally filled. My guess is these people are still waiting. 2 days later. My estimate of level of care > lax at best. Advice don''t go to ER till April(may be May) but still got a feeling the level of care will be Lax at best. Had to believe they don't have a Urologist on call they can get. Talked to friends that went to Leesburg ER on friday and had a similar wait. So take 2 aspirins and wait another month or so to get sick enough to need a ER. I think the Village hospital has a long way to go before you will see then bragging about the level of care compared to other hospitals.
