The “triage line” consisted of people sitting in various spots as they were tired of standing, and when I say people, there were probably 2 people standing, 2 people in wheel chairs like myself, and 2 or 3 sitting in various areas. The billing clerk, admitted she had no clue how to do the billing for a workman’s comp issue, and she would just “wing it”. ( after spending several hours on the phone with the billing dept, it has now been straightened out. As far as storming out, yes that was a bit exaggerated. The young man who came in for the late shift was actually very caring. And spent his first hour handing out blankets, and talking with people to see if he could accommodate their needs somehow. When my wife approached him he was very kind and helpful. He did make an effort to retrieve the crutches and brace, as well as get the written prescription for the pain meds and something for the swelling. In his haste he grabbed all of the wrong sizes and noticed it as he was handing them to us. And offered to go get the right sizes. We thanked him but explained we were just worn out and wanted to get home, and even though that wasn’t his fault it was just kind of the straw that broke the camels back at that point. The prescription would be worthless until 8 am the next morning and they gave me zero medication in the interim. We thanked him for trying and thanked him for helping the other people left sitting alone in there. He was the only one who showed any empathy at all and willingness to help at all. Kudos to him. Unfortunately for him it was too little to late, but once again not his fault. As for the full tear ACL. It was indeed a “full rupture with very little left to connect to” The operation was Thursday and I sit here in my keyboard warrior full leg brace and cryogenic circulation machine addressing your questions. And as for the suing quip, I would never waste my time with such frivolity, to take on a hospital that is backed by Morse money would be ludicrous. So I hope the gods are now appeased and all is right with your world. For someone who wasn’t there and had zero knowledge of what actually went on, you sure seem to think you knew a lot. And I really could careless about your sniff test.

The Hospital is NOT "backed by Morse Money". The Morses built it and they rent it out to Hospital Corporations. They do not have a drop, not a scintilla of anything to do with running it. The Lease was recently changed from the company that was running it to the University of Florida Hospital Corporation. Were you in fact at the Hospital on 441/27 or at the new place for emergency care near Brownwood? If you were at the one near Brownwood, I too had a similar experience and we were never triaged last month where our daughter's heart rate dropped below forty. If I am wrong, I will wear sackcloth and ashes at Lake Sumter Square and I sincerely apologize. I am not a queen of anything, just an old woman who pays attention carefully.
