if others want to quibble about percentage of beds, etc. fine...but 9 available ICU beds in Sumter County is troubling to me.
Two years ago at Christmastime my heart slowed down to 37 beats a minute and I was placed in "Critical Care" which is not the same as "Intensive care". I think there are a lot more of those beds and beds in what they call the "Step down unit", where people are still in great danger and monitored closely.

what is the difference between critical care and intensive care? - Bing
