I am proud of many things about The Villages and the ancillary businesses, but, I am ashamed at how the ER is run. He got the same story about beds upstairs being full.

By the way, I checked TVRH website at the midpoint and it said wait time was 0 minutes. What a farce. Yes, they are quick at checkin and triage but a long, long wait to see a doc.

This is on a Wednesday morning in late May. I can only imagine what it's like on a Saturday night in March!

TVRH has just added new inpatient beds. And expanded the ER, as well as a holding unit for patients who are staying overnight or waiting for an inpatient bed. If they don't have sufficient nursing/technical staff in off-season, as you imply, that says a lot to me. Staff can also include the ER docs and hospitalists. All can create bottlenecks.
