I've been a pt. at TVH a number of times (2x/for surgery) and the care was fine. The ER as others stated really needs an over-hauling but from what I've heard they aren't run by TVH but have traveling nurses and drs. With Covid....the shortages of help is evident. I was just there about 4 wks ago and the ER experience was less-than. The care up stairs on the floor was good however. I had been told my issue would have been "life-threatening" if I'd not come in when I did, so when you hear words like that one is just grateful to be treated. My other half also has been a pt. at both hospitals and his care was very good. Remember T.V. was built in a rural area and NOT a metro-area of FL. Just saying....that you won't get a "Class A" hospital in a rural area. IF that's what you wanted, then maybe moving here wasn't in your best interest. It takes time for things to happen.....hospitals being built for one with people to staff it. I've noticed how people tend to want what they want, WHEN they want it. LIFE doesn't work that way.
