My wife has another year to go until Medicare time so when I was going to enroll her in her FloridaBlue plan for 2023 what do you know, at the bottom of the list of providers UHC was there. Eureka finally my dream comes true. Not so fast. They don't cover any of The Villages Doctors or our Hospital which looks like Wayne Manor from Orange Blossom C.C. but is just about as inviting as a BatCave, ER-wise. |
Yeah I've been in the ER - helping a neighbor. This was still during the pandemic, they had a section partitioned off for anyone who had covid symptoms. My neighbor was having a full-blown panic attack -during- her wait in the ER waiting area, vomiting, sweating, shivering, yelling in pain. She thought she was dying, she couldn't focus and was mostly incoherent. I had to walk away from her and up to the desk to ask if anyone could do ANYTHING at all to calm her down, or make her more comfortable. She was brought in by ambulance and parked in one of their wheelchairs. It was horrible. For an hour. Finally they let her go to the first room past the door where there's an exam bench, so she could lay down.
I couldn't understand why or how they could just - watch this woman yelling in pain and vomiting in the middle of their waiting area. If she'd ruptured her spleen she would've died before anyone could even bring her a
bag.
