Even if you get seen in the ER, the service is horrible. My mother went in, and then was made to wait, as an admitted patient, 6 days before they actually heard our concern, figured out she had 2 broken vertebrae in her spine, treated her, and released her that day. She died 2 weeks later. They don't care, they seem to have the mentality that everyone here is dying and can't be helped. Unfortunate.
I also had a golf cart accident, was taken in by ambulance with a broken wrist, had horrible, bleeding cuts all over my face and arms. They set the wrist, without ever even wiping off the blood (and I was concerned for infection) or wiping any blood from my face or anywhere else. So sad. I recommend when possible, going into Ocala for care.
It is reasonable to think, in an elder community where healthcare is of utmost importance, that the hospital system here should be of world class standards, rather than sub-par performance. Can't understand it, and people's lives depend on it. Just don't know where to start to get it changed.
