I would sadly have to agree with your statement. I have accompanied several Villagers to the ER and visited them while in the hospitals in The Villages, Leesburg and Ocala area. It was an eye-opening experience for sure. I wouldn’t want to be treated in any of those hospitals if I could help it. All poorly managed, extremely poor communication, unprofessionalism amongst staff, incompetent medical care, poor bedside manner, inattentive, and in one case botched surgery on a broken wrist, causing additional corrective surgeries.

In each visit to these hospitals, I said to myself, I would never want to be treated here.
