Agree with most of the posters about bad results due to the demographics(age) of patients. I was at the ER in July 2021 and ER waiting room was packed with 80+ year old patients and they could not get into the actual ER due to no beds available. Was told that this was Covid related. Adding insult to injury hospital charged ER fee and I never set foot in the actual ER. All of the patients awaited testing, examination etc in the waiting room.
Unfortunately, do feel that this problem is going to get worse with the rise in retirees moving to this area. Most of the devolpoments around here are 55+ communities. Very few upscale communities(that doctors would be attacted to) being built that are for under 55 years old people.
On the bright side, if you do have a serious medical condition and/or need a very specialized doctor Shands is an alternative.
