I fell and broke my kneecap 6 months ago. I called 911, they took me to Leesburg hospital because “that’s where the orthopedic surgeon is” I was told. Got X-rays, yes you need surgery but unfortunately we don’t have an on call doctor, The Villages does though. Let’s get you transferred over there. It took 6 hours of them trying to get me into ANY UF hospital for surgery but not one of them would take me because I was in a “grey area” so they discharged me to find my own orthopedic surgeon. It took me one week to finally get the surgery done. Now I’ve lost all range of motion in my knee. So….. NO, they have not gotten better. I ended up needing another surgery and went to Jewett in Orlando. Lousy healthcare is the only thing I dislike about being here.
