At 8:00PM she was still not seen and no one came out to even checked to see why she was there that long. She finally left at 8PM and went to Leesburg Hospital where she was seen within 1/2 hour and was diagnose with a possible mini stroke and vertigo. We as a family will never again use the Villages Hospital.
I had the same experience.....
I arrived by ambulance (^ B\P, headache, vertigo & vomiting)...
I never saw a MD...
A PA saw me...( the nurses kept saying "the doctor wil see you before MRI is ordered!)
My own doctor was out of town....
I stayed overnight and saw a neuro doctor (who only worked at the hospital ) who told me, "I'm surprised they admitted you!
He told me I was not sick enough.....
After writing for my discharge, the Nuse, (actually a LPN) was so overwhelmed she never came into the (over 8 hours) so...I just left with my sister...
I worked as a RN (Magnet Status) for 35 years and all I can say is, Shame on you!
