Remember also IF you call an Ambulance you will be going to either TV or Leesburg unless it's a Trauma Alert. Myself I use Urgent Cares if at all possible. If I go to the ER I know it's going to be a long wait. As I said in earlier posts having ridden with EMS I know it's the same up North where I was.

skip: this same topic (TVERH) has been repeated so many times since I first came on TOTV. I said back then that one look around and I signed onto Munroe.
You suggest that people ought to try their urgent Care. I suggested in one thread that the ER ought to have a nurse pre-screen patients and those needing only urgent care be offered the opportunity to go to urgent care.
and in every thread some poster suggest tell management. If after all these years and all the advertising in the Daily Sun, POA, VHA management is unaware then they are more incompetent then the people running the ER.
What I am saying is the ER is a failure because of management. Indeed there can be more hair raising nights then others but planning is the key.
I worked in insurance we had plans in place for catastrophes. We knew we had to get in and get out fast to meet people's needs.
The problems associated with The Villages Hospital fall on the Board of Directors and management . I feel badly for the employees
