After X-ray, waited another hour before the attending Physician came in. After determining that I was from out of state , she did not even bother to try and reset the bones but simply put a very loose wrap around the toe and said "go see your Dr. when you get home". My Orthopedic appointment at 40 hours after the injury was basically "WTF? They didn't even reset the bones??". We are now contacting Morgan & Morgan.
The bottom line is The Villages uses the proximity of health care as a selling point. The "family" needs to do a serious review of that issue and use their influence to fix this before people die due to incompetence. For the record, my wife is a retired medical professional, my son is a primary care physician and my daughter is a well trained Emergency Department physician.I was on staff at the American College of Emergency Physicians. None of the personnel we encountered at TVRH ER would have been hired or maintained on job at a serious hospital.
One more thing, I was the only person in the waiting room.
