We also had a horrible experience at the ER. In March of last year I took my husband who was in great pain from a kidneystone to the ER around 6PM. He was triaged and then we sat with a plastic bucket for his vomiting for 4 hours in the waiting room. We left and went home with him never being seen and after others there told us they had been waiting 8 hours. He passed the kidney stone at home later that night. We received a bill for $392.40. Same explanation given to us as you. When we complained about the extensive wait the response was "well we are pretty busy during snowbird season". So unless we have an emergency during off season we will head to Leesburg ER. It really galls me to read the accolades in the newspaper on how great the ER is.
