I've been on here numerous times to give my support to TVRH. As Gracie stated...I don't believe it's perfect BUT we don't live in a large metro area. Keep that in mind PLUS the fact we are a community full of aging people with issues. Think, if we didn't have a hospital at all. Our facility is relatively new and we should be grateful to have it. Many folks don't follow the guidelines of using the ER vs a clinic or Urgent Care. I don't know when ER's began to be abused and used as a clinic but they are. I know of NO medical facility or medical person who meets "perfection".
I've utlized our hospital several times in the years we've lived here---both via the ER (transported by EMT or by a family member) AND I've also been a patient. The care I've continually received has been good. I've not been a cardiac or trauma patient so far, so can't speak to that. My spouse was admitted as such and the care we would say, was excellent an en pointe.
Whenever we get injured or sick it's a stressful event. I'm wondering how many folks prepare themselves ahead of time in the event something could happen??!! You don't just wait and hope for the best. I like what DBussone share on here and Golfing Eagles as their backgrounds are from a medical stand-point so we should pay attention to their wise-counsel.
