On Jan 1 at 1:30 am, 2013 my wife asked me to call an ambulance as her stomach area was hurting bad. Ambulance came right away which was very good but they told me that they could not take her to The Village hospital as it is at full capacity. They said we can either go to Ocala Regional or Munroe. Leesburg was another possibility. We went to Ocala Regional and although we had to stay by the corridor with no room availability until mid-morning, she was getting check ups which turned out to be gall bladder stones acting up. Even if she had no room, she was getting checked which we were grateful. We are also grateful for the quick response time of The Villages ambulance team. Not the best scenario but we were still grateful. Definitely ER issue will get worse around The Villages as the place matures and as we get older. I am hoping USF/The Villages are looking in to resolve the issue.
