Moffit is understaffed to keep patients waiting many hours to be seen by a nurse practitioner and not your oncologist and his expertise. They double-book appts and these sick, weak patients must sit around for hours in a waiting room to be seen.....what's wrong with this picture?
I have a friend with cancer who told me something similiar. I asked him his opinion of having the Moffitt connected center in The Villages, and he didn't feel it would give hiim any better care than he's already getting here now.
