In Kailua, Hawaii when I broke my knee I was seen within 15 min at Castle Hospital, stabilized and the surgeon called me the next day to discuss options. I chose to fly home. Again hospital did follow up calls to see how I was on my cell 3 times a day. I was on Allianz insurance which bargains with the hospital on bills.

I’m afraid to get sick in TV. Do I need to arrange for access to private nurse and how I get to Orlando in an emergency?
You are not in Hawaii.....if you can afford it, get that private nurse and hire a helicopter to take you where you feel comfortable. From your post, I am assuming you have never been to either Leesburg or TVRH but are judging based on the small fraction of folks that bash on here with limited information.
