It was first announced that TVRH was granted a CON for a new hospital in Brownwood. I know that is about to expire. I have heard a RUMOR that Watermann is trying to get into that area. At our General Staff meetings at the hospital I get the feeling that TVRH cannot afford a new hospital, ergo the switch to the new ED plan. That might help with the Ambulance issue but my neighbor went in an ambulance, was triaged, and still sat in the waiting room for 6 hours. I think the hospital needs to hear from you all. The only time I went to the ER it was not a long wait. Besides they might see me as a disgruntled employee. Just a suggestion.

Thank you Sally for your input in this thread! I think what you have said makes alot of sense. So many of us have a bad experience (doesn't matter where) and we just complain about it w/o actually going to the source, or above to share our concerns (albeit complaints). Nothing will change unless there is knowlege......
I still stand though and say that all hospitals (even what we deem the best) will have instances where they fall short of excellence. Because we all are humans we all make mistakes. I know when it concerns life or death, or is personal that doesn't fare well...but it is true.
