Default Sad situation

First off, I'm so sorry you and your family had to endure such incompetence here in TV. I have heard horror stories from the ER here. I am worried for mine and my husbands health and life living here. I have already told him that if I need care please bring me to Leesburg or Ocala. The fact that the emergency care is so substandard ( in my opinion) is very scary. And, the fact that there is no one to care for a sick child is just as bad. When a child is ill, they need care quickly, if just for the fact that they are children. To add fuel to the fire, health insurances will not pay for Out of Network care. I think we should spread the word that if Urgent Care is open then we should go there if it is not an emergency. If it is after hours then we should go to another hospital where it's not such a cluster. With everything that TV has to offer, they should be ashamed of the so called Medical Care, specifically the Hospital, they provide. I would think that we the residence should voice loud and clear the need of better Emergency and hospital care here in The Villages. Our life could depend on it.
