I had been coughing blood for several days , I developed severe chest pain so I decided to go to the E.R.;
After I was checked in I got an EKG and was sent to the waiting area.
3 hours later I had not even got to the insurance person yet. At this point A lady came into the area and announced there was 5 ambulances and another on the way , We were told we would not expect to be seen anytime soon because of this.

I then left

We've been here 2 months and are considering moving out of the area because I need quality medical care due to multiple medical issues.
I don't see it here !

So far I see the Villages medical as , " Ä doctors honey pot"
I'm sorry for your bad experience. Hospital ER's have to triage. If they were dealing with 6 ambulances, they were probably forced to use the limited resources of a regional hospital for cases that were more critical than yours. I hope you eventually got the medical care you needed and that you're alright now.
