Over the last 2 years, I have taken my elderly parents to the ER's located in a large metro city hospital....the waiting time..in the waiting area...was from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. This was on 5 separate occasions. One of the hospitals was located in city and the two others were in the suburbs.
Depending on The Villages Hospital's ER scares me.

Before we came here my wife was at a major Baltimore hospital. ER waits averaged well over 16 hours and in many cases could run from 24-40 hours. Waiting 3.5 hours here is NOTHING. I don't know where you found your 5 minute wait but it's NOT the norm. And if you think 3.5 hours is bad..then you're going to be VASTLY disappointed going forward.
