Once you got past that, the knuckleheads are gone and you are left with folks that needed to be admitted with real problems.
It's a damn shame what the health care workers and volunteers put up with to try and appease the entitled.

You really sound like a jerk. So sick of hearing about 'entitled'. Find a new word because that one is overworked. If the doctor has been there 18 hours that is poor management. And poor care. Who wants to spend 10 hours in an emergency room? If you do that is not emergency, time sensitive, care. And who wants to spend 10 hours there for, what did you say, a hangnail or a headache or sore throat? No one! I have been to that emergency room a few times in my 25 years living in The Villages. It is nothing to be proud of.
