I've heard the horror stories about the ER atTV Regional Hospital, and I have no doubt of their veracity. But I have to say that the two times I used the servicea of the ER, both experiences were excellent. Once I was driven in by a family member following a fall that caused.a lot of damage; the other time I was brought in by ambulance after an auto accident caused by a medical blackout.

I once had surgery involving one overnight stay at a supposedly outstanding hospital in New York City whose name most people would know. and expect excellent service. There were 'dust bunnies' under the furniture that moved around in the air conditioning, and the other patient in the room, who had had much more serious surgery and would be there for quite a few more days than I, had his bloody gowns left hanging from the grab bar in the room the entire time I was there.

One doesn't always know....
