I just took my husband to the Munroe Regional in Ocala ER last Thurs. and we got right in. Very nice dr's and nurses and a positive experience, as far as a trip to the ER is concerned. However, I noticed 24 hours later as I was leaving at the exact same time of day we went (3 PM)...........the entire waiting room was filled with standing room only. I inquired to an employee as it seemed odd that only 24 hours earlier there was no one in the waiting room. They said that Fridays are always full because people that don't have insurance or a dr. just come to the ER. Sort of like.........oh, it's time to go to the dr (ER) when they only needed something minor. I was told that this heppens on a regular basis, as the patients know the ER has to take them.
I was shocked that the ER is used so casually. Hopefully we won't have to ever go there on Fridays. However, we did like Munroe a lot.
