About a month ago I cut my thumb open with a razor knife opening boxes. I tried to stop the bleeding for more than a couple of hours and then had my wife drive me to the Villages hospital for the first time since we moved here. Info was promptly taken and shortly after I was seen by a (triage?) nurse. All this time I was applying good pressure to the wound. After that little interview (continue with the pressure!) we sat in the waiting room for another 2 1/2 hrs. By this time the bleeding had slowed to a manageable rate so we said goodby - I have nerve damage in that thumb now & a nice scar plus a great memory of that hospital!! If you can go somewhere else!!
