I crashed my car yesterday. My wife has a severe chest pains and we spent many hours in The Village Regional Hospital waiting for her to be seen. Actually 8 hours from when she was brought in by ambulance until she got a room in the ER. Would have been longer until I told them that if they are too busy they should go on bypass and I wanted and inter hospital transport...then they got here a CAT scan and a Dr. The hospital was good for 20k people, but now that we are at over 100K it is time to build another hospital or two or put TVRH on bypass. The halls were lined with people and when the shift changed the new triage nurse finally called in more Dr.s. We need better care than the Marcus Welby experience that is being advertised.
