What I wonder is if I go to TV hospital by ambulance, and want to be transported to Ocala hospital, will an ambulance transport me if my condition warrants?? I do worry about needing immediate, quality medical care. And I had no idea the medical care was so poor before I moved here. Not something I even thought about checking out. I figured since there were 90,000+ people the medical care had to be pretty good. Apparently not.....

If you have not yet needed to avail yourself of the medical care here in TV how do you come to make the statement
"I had no idea the medical was so poor before I moved here".
The medical care available to you here is good to excellent. You have a hospital right here in TV. You have a hospital in Leesburg. You have Florida Watermans. You have two hospitals in Ocala. You then move into the very high end hospitals, namely - Orlando General, Tampa General, Moffatt, Gainesville and Mayo in Jacksonville. The farthest one is a three hour ride from here and how bad is that?
This thread has vilified TV hospital, but there are hundreds of residents who have had excellent treatment from our local hospital.
