My wife went to the Ocala Regional ER and when I got there the waiting room was full and when I went into see her there were gurneys with people in the hallways and it was very busy... about the same when she had gone to the TVH ER. One of the doc's actually chided her for going to Ocala and she said she should have gone to TVH instead... TVH and Leesburg were both on diversion so no one could go there.

I did find the staff in the Ocala ER very accommodating (as I also found a TVH) and after about 5 hours they did get here to a hospital room.

But they kept here in the hospital for 12 days but she had gone to TVH previously for the same thing issue and was out in two. Again the staff in the hospital were accommodating and good but she was in there for so long (at least it seemed to me) because the left had didn't know what the right hand was doing across various departments and no one check her history.

So, at least from my limited experience, I don't see Ocala Regional as being a slam dunk better than TVH.
