My husband was taken by ambulance to the ER on Sunday for chest pain and he was assessed and treated quickly. From what I could observe the biggest problem there is volume. They had more patients than they had rooms for and some were waiting in the hallway for a room. When he was finally admitted the hospital itself was full and he had to wait 6 hours for a bed. His treatment however was excellent. The nurses were straight out but still gave us wonderful care. Today they told us that they had 4 heart attacks in one day and heart attacks always get moved to the front of the line. I am sure if we had gone in for kidney stones it would have been a different story but that is how it works. Life threatening conditions always go first and in The Villages there is always an abundance.
