Diving time from my house to Ocala Regional (level 3 trauma) is 35 minutes.
I have had only one personal experience at TV hospital - enough to NEVER go there again while I am conscious. I wound up in Orlando Regional during my experience and received excellent care and results. Have also had good results at Ocala Regional and Florida Hospital in Orlando.
I have also been personally involved in two other events occurring in TV hospital. Fortunately neither resulted in death although both were close calls. IMO in each case the patient nearly died due to poor communication and/or treatment.
Ask around and listen to as many personal experiences as you can. Some will be good and some will be bad but try to be as informed as possible before choosing TV hospital.
