So many say, go to Ocala. A friend of mine went to the ER in Ocala a few months ago. They waited so long, they decided to come back to the Villages. She did end up getting admitted and spent 5 or 6 days in the TVRH.

The waiting rooms are a nightmare at most hospitals. Definitely agree they have to try and get a better system going.


It wasn't just the unnecessary wait. It was also inadequate care. Her Orthopaedic surgeon, who was chief-of-staff at the time, was so upset about the lack of care she received in the ER that he went to see the hospital CEO.
