1 doctor onsite. Very nice.
1 radiologist viewing x-rays remotely covering 3 UF facilities.
Waited 3 hours to have my x-ray read.
No one could tell me when the 1 radiologist would get to my x-ray.

Grand Children visiting. Didn't want to spend the 4th of July in the ER with no
assurance I would receive a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Left in frustration.

Where do you go for treatment of non-life threatning injuries on a holiday in the Villages? People get hurt on holidays to. Why the poor coverage?
To your refrigerator, get some ice cubes and a wash cloth, pack the jammed finger in ice. Eat a popsicle and use the stick to splint the finger. Whatsa matter? You never in the Boy Scouts? Maybe take a Tylenol. Enjoy your visitors. If it still needs attention next day, go to urgent care. Quit bankrupting Medicare.
