Hospitals
I don't usually rant but this is too important. My husband had out patient surgery in Pittsburgh on his bladder, two weeks before we came to the Villages for the winter. No problem following the procedure. Then he was passing a lot of blood in his urine when we got here couldn't get an appointment with a urologist. We went to the Villages hospital. 7 hours later, their solution was to insert a Foley. Wednesday we were back at the hospital because he had a great deal of pressure and no urine in the bag. They said that there was a kink in the tube. I was told then that no urologists go to that hospital
Thursday he was in pain again and didn't pass urine for 10 hours. This time we went to Ocala. What a difference. They were concerned, professional and efficient. They flushed his Foley 25 times, gave an IV, and when they were done there was no blood and the Foley could be removed. The Village hospital is 20 years behind the times. I would caution all to not go there unless time is the issue. It is just not a good hospital.
