Default long wait at Leesburg ER

My friend fell on a walk in the afternoon and got a gash in her head and face and was bleeding a lot. We called the rescue squad and they took her to Leesburg Hospital since they said that The Villages ER was too full. We were there for many hours. They took her off the ambulance and put her in the waiting room. There were many people there with stomach bug and flu. It was awful. After about 3 hrs they took her in for cat scan and then back to waiting room. Finally, after about 4 1/2 hrs they called her in for stiches. They had to do it in the hallway because there were no rooms available in the ER. It was crazy. So not sure where is better.
