For those who suggest going to the ER at Leesburg Hospital, I'll relate my experience last month on a Friday evening. I wanted to go to an urgent care center but they were all closed and I knew that the ER at TVRH would be overwhelmed.
I was taken in for testing very promptly and then sent back to the waiting room which was filled to capacity. After almost three hours waiting there, during which time not ONE patient was called back, I decided to go home.
My point is: if just one of the many urgent care centers had been open a little later, in my opinion this trip and drain on the ER resources would have been unnecessary. In any case, it looks like Leesburg ER is just as overwhelmed as TVRH.
On the other hand, I was admitted to TVRH last year twice through the ER. The care by the nursing staff when I got to a room was just great.
