Villages Hospital ER
Several months ago, I visited the ER for an episode of epigastric pain radiating to my jaw and ear..was triaged and EKG and cardiac enzymes and chest xray done in 30 mins..then sent to sit in waiting room for 8 more hrs..had B/P and pulse taken 4 hrs later and asked several times why not seen by DR..pain resolved after 2 hrs and asked if Dr could just read test results and discharge me..waited from 11 pm until 7 am in waiting room with sick, coughing patients also waiting..told they were busy and no rooms available..all filled wih patients waiting to be admitted to hospital. saw Dr in conference room and told tests need repeated 3 hrs after first tests to compare results...had already been 8 hrs at that point..tests repeated and again negative, and discharge 9 hrs after checking in..I will never return to this hospital.
NO reason for a Dr to have not seen results and discharged me in a timely manner..they have this terrible reputation for a reason! |

Best advice---if you have chest pain with radiation to your jaw again and don't want TVRH, I wouldn't go any further than Leesburg. If you're having a MI (heart attack), time is critical, so I wouldn't screw around with Tampa, Orlando, or Gainesville. Even the time to Ocala could create a problem. |
