When my wife arrived to save my life and got me to a real hospital in Gainesville (I couldn’t possibly drive myself), the triage team quickly evaluated me and rushed me to critical care. There isn’t a low enough grade possible for the ER at the Villages hospital.
I don’t normally chime in here but my wife also had an exceptionally bad experience at this hospital - she stated she’d rather die than go back. Staff didn’t treat her well (medically or personally) despite serious reasons & symptoms for entry - it traumatized her to be honest to some extent.
