Sounds fishy to me and I call BS.
BTW - If you where completely honest, then I apologize. I suggest that you stop with the keyboard warrior stuff and seek legal action against the medical facility. It sucks that so many people talk trash about The Villages ER and never take any constructive action in correcting the problem so it doesn't happen again to the next poor guy seeking medical help.

What seems fishy? If I knew how to take pictures to post on a response I would. The ER dr diagnosed it as a bad sprain, but after getting an MRI, the orthopedic surgeon diagnosed it as a complete rupture of the ACL with very little left to attach it to. As far as storming out, no I didn’t kick the door down. I might have overstated “ storming out” and just said left very upset. As far as sitting there way too long, the carrot on the stick kept being dangled. First with the X-ray, then with Dr giving everyone their diagnoses right there in the waiting room in front of gad and everyone. All of these took longer than they should of, but in for a penny in for a pound. Lessen learned. The ACL operation took place at west Marion in Ocala, with outstanding care and follow up. Seeking legal action against a large Hospital that is probably backed by Morse money, would be frivolous, and I probably shouldn’t of even added that part. My mistake. They gave me a written prescription which was of no use at that time of night, and offered no pain meds while I waited for the pharmacy to open. As for going to the emergency room, this was my 3 rd time in my 57 years of needing such a facility, I thought I had done something much worse, and that it was much worse, I was unaware that there was certain protocol as to which type of facility I was suppose to go to. The workman’s comp person asked me which hospital I was closes too, and it was the Villages Hospital so that is where I went.
