Are they ordering tests routinely in every instance so as to make more money off of Medicare? Could this be Medicare fraud? We had a thread on Medicare fraud and I think it was agreed by many that it often involves ordering too many unnecessary tests. Perhaps you should report it as a possible fraud. |

Lots of people with good blood pressure, no shortness of breath while working out, no fatigue, good weight, etc., suffer heart attacks. I personally know two such people who died of heart attacks, one while jogging. And countless others I've read about down through the years.

I wonder if anyone has ever died on a gurney in the hallway of the ER at TVRH?

When I went to the hospital several years ago, the emergency room doctor told me I wasn't having a heart attack. How did he know without any testing? Only two things were used: blood pressure and stethoscope plus a few questions. My prediction: Emotions often trump reason, just wait and see. |

The other person I knew personally was an athlete who dropped dead while taking a shower at home. he was 40. Same autopsy results. The countless others were people in news reports during our 25 years in West Michigan. You have no clue know what I know; we don't even know each other. So please don't try to tell me.

I was referring to your statement that hospitals doing tests on seemingly healthy people who show up in the emergency room with chest pains are engaging in medical fraud.

New to the Villages. Where is a good place to go when needing medical care? Obviously not The Villages ER. Are there other ERs in the vicinity?

Leesburg hospital has an ER, and there are several in Ocala. TVRH is overwhelmed during season so it's not that busy out of season and is being expanded. There are also several urgent care centers in and around TV.

Thank you for your respoinse
Thank you for your response. Either you didn't read what I had to say or I wasn't clear.

Since writing this... I have talked to people who work at the hospital who have also been patients. They have expressed that they also would not go back. I stand in good company. I expect The Villages Hospital to have better care than what I received. As I said before...If you are happy with this hospital... you can continue to go there. This is written for others who have a problem to understand they are not the only one and they do have choices. I didn't know about all of this until I had the misfortune to go there. Just so everyone is aware.. Yes, I did send this to the hospital and am told I have to forward the letter to Oakbrook Terrace, IL. hmmmm As I said before, since my stay at The Villages Hospital, I was with another patient who went to Shands Hospital. If you look at the care, organization, and processes there.. it's night and day difference than the care, organization and processes at The Villages Hospital.

The people posting here are assuming the staff at the hospital knew what they were doing. It was clear to me.. they didn't!!! I was told they are over worked and understaffed!

You know.... I don't think I have written anything bad about any company.. In fact... I have gone out of my way to live by the adage "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"
My health and my family's health is important to me. My doctors and my hospital is important to me. I wrote this.. I believe my first (if not, one of few) bad reviews because it was important to me and I thought it might be important to someone else. Clearly I was wrong. Just consider... Maybe... just maybe...I might know what I'm talking about. Have a great day.
