What Rubicon wrote is true, I believe. No one can deny another's bad experience nor someone else's good experience at any hospital. All that can be added, perhaps, is maybe a list of mitigating factors ( overcrowding in the ER on one particular night etc.) Doesn't change a bad experience nor probably justify most of them.
From my own experience, both times I've needed TVRH's ER I was very well and very promptly attended to - once even when it was crowded.
This summer, I had by-pass surgery in Leesburg Hospital. The cardiac care unit was fantastic. I had subsequent need for its ER and I would not wish my experience on my worst enemy. I not only caught a crowded night but a somewhat cavalier doctor.
I then, later this summer, spent 14 days in TVRH for an intestinal problem and that was via the ER. My care from the doctors to the nurses (including Russ here) and the aides was equal and at times far better than I experienced at NYU Medical in NYC or at Long Island hospitals.
Again, my experience. I have a set of doctors I consider to be highly professional, knowledgeable and caring and they are all connected to TVRH.
