Ambulance is required to take a critical to the nearest facility

If it’s a medical emergency, they should transport to the closest hospital. It wouldn’t be fair to other people if you’re tired up ambulance unnecessarily.

A qualified YES to the above quote, only the hospital has some ability to accept/decline the situation given their current situation in ER depending on level of care needed and the distance to available same level of care. If they are swamped/overwhelmed/lacking beds, the can accept or decline acceptance UNLESS the level of care required demands otherwise. The receiving hospital has the final call in accepting any run that is not life threatening.

NYC and Boston hospitals ARE THE BEST for special care in Northeast and south in USA
That is why flotida is not the best state for special care. which leave me to say think twice before you move there.

Last night the ambulance team (marion county) asked us where we wanted to take my father in law. We said the closest hospital is The Villages. They said The Villages is full right now with 40 people waiting in the ER. They said it might be worth the 20 minute ride to Leesburg or Ocala. We chose Ocala. We thought about the new Advent Health in Belleview which is an ER but they don't have beds. Maybe it would be a different protocol for a more serious emergency.

Personally if you could get them to Jacksonville, Florida Mayo Clinic that where I would go, but it’s an emergency you my not have choice. I had a terrible experience at TV hospital too!

So, let me see if I got this right:
There’s seems that we don’t have good hospital (going by past post/replies) in the area (The Villages) and now if one wants ti be transported elsewhere most likely staying in the area? The Villages with all its beauty (homes, grounds/golf courses, shopping and let’s not forget entertainment) does not have a good medical facility or a way to at least take someone to a different hospital? |

Not true, Leesburg is where you want to go for anything cardiac. Someone who had a heart attack this week was taken to Leesburg. Leesburg is known in central FL as they place to go for anything cardiac.

People should probably stop referring to that place as a Hospital, that’s giving it way more credit than it deserves.

After Medicare ambulance was $270. More than AmR charged. Leesburg treatment was excellent. People need to stop complaining about it

I was referred to Mayo for kidney problems and was a patient there for three long years and the driving back and forth was a pain in the you know where. I could not be treated locally. However, my husband had excellent treatment at The Village hospital for both cancer and heart. We were also very fortunate to have a very good GP and Cardiologist. |
