In the emergency room and finally being transported via ambulance to Shands I can say first hand, I won't go back to The Village Hospital for anything. This is not a Morse issue, it could be a life and death issue. They built a good city but the medical piece of it got lost in the shuffle. Agreed privatization takes over and so do economies of scale. And above all good old fashioned profit. The king of privatization

When my husband had his first heart attack, the paramedics told us that he was in the throes of a heart attack, immediately making contact with TVRH. It was a little after 1:00 a.m. when he was loaded and we were off to TVRH. When we got there, they were waiting for him, had already called in the cath team, got him ready to go up, he got a stent, and was in ICU by around 4:30 a.m..
In all probability, he would never have made it to Leesburg, much less Shands.
