I have nothing but positive to say about The Villages Hospital. Went there via automobile due to a very serious issue. I was in much pain so I think they have a method of evaluation for that because I've heard there's folks who abuse medical facilities to get drugs. THAT was NOT the case with me. They did administer a shot for pain and sent me for a CAT scan. It was a holiday weekend---I have NO idea how busy they were. Eventually I was admitted! The care on the floor was wonderful and caring! I know when we're in a stressful situation that involves our health we expect prompt attention. That being said....I'm sure we're all put on a triage for seriousness. I will NOT say anything negative about the hospital as we need ALL of the information before making a judgment.

Healthcare in the U.S. will be changing...you can expect this!! With Socialized medicine---patients are all put on a waiting list depending on the seriousness. It won't matter if it's a large medical center or not.

The small town we moved here from had a hospital. We'd moved into this community due to a job change. Many of the "townies" sounded like the folks here who feel they were adversely treated---saying they'd never darken it's door. Instead they'd go to a large city that was 20 miles away. I will tell you people I heard many negative stories about those large hospitals as well. One is a renowned teaching hospital even. On a thread such as this though...I don't think we'll change the minds of people who think they have them made up.
