I must say that my one and only experience in a hospital ER in my entire life was at Villages Regional several years ago, the situation was extremely serious and, for me, the care was superb. It is obvious from this thread, however, that this has not been the case for everyone. As long as there are Americans--our fellow citizens--who do not have access to care and have no choice but to use hospital emergency rooms for what should be routine care, this problem will continue and possibly even worsen!
I suspect if they did a chest Xray on you, they would find that you actually have a heart, a good heart
