Every ER experiences non emergency visits and they need to prioritize their "incoming", but a seven hour wait what could have been a major abdominal issue is far too lengthy.
The woman who had been there over ten hours was admitted finally which means they deemed her condition worthy of a bed and at least an overnight stay.
The admitting desk said these waits are standard which is totally unacceptable, in my opinion.

Thanks for your post and update regarding Villages Hospital ER. I was hoping the wait time was better but I agree with you that this is unacceptable.
We plan to go to Leesburg or Ocala if we have a similar need.
