I am a post stroke patient. Went to my neurologist for routine visit. Told her of symptoms that concerned me. She called an ambulance and had me transported to Leesburg hospital. They did a cat scan but no MRI. ER Dr felt I had carpal tunnel. ??? She discharged me. Neurologist shocked that no MRI was done. Sent me to RayUs stat. Result was a new stroke. Told to go immediately to a hospital. Well I was not going back to Leesburg after that inept Dr thought I had carpal tunnel, so I went to The Villages Hospital. Seen immediately, admitted after extensive workup. Excellent care. Their hospital neurologist is excellent. Wish he had a private practice.

Not everyone had a bad experience
Like I said this was one experience, maybe not a reason to condemn the whole emergency dept. My other experience was 2 years ago diagnosed with infected tonsil. Told me the had no ear nose and throat specialist and sent me in an ambulance to Gainesville. Gave me steroids and was home in two days.
