I did my health care research the hard way. I went to the ER at the Villages Hospital with a life threatening infectious disease, had the worst experience one could possibly imagine, was in a hell hole for about 12 hours, finally got misdiagnosed and given medication I didn’t need, and was sent packing to go home in my golf cart after midnight to die (I was in absolutely no shape to drive). If I didn’t get to a real hospital in Gainesville in short order for proper care and treatment, I wouldn’t be here today. I love the lifestyle of The Villages, but I am in constant fear of needing competent health care while here. BEWARE!
