If our local Hospital is so bad why do people continue to go there? If your able to drive yourself or be driven by someone other then an Ambulance why not go somewhere else? It is NOT The Villages Hospital it is the Hospital that is located in The Villages, We know they are swamped with people especially this time of year. Look at the amount of people and their ages in the area. Try going to another Hospital and see their wait times. The State has to approve more Hospitals and they are the ones who can correct the problems.

Did any of you read Dear Heloise in todays (3/18) Sun?? A person wrote in who lives in Atlanta and I thought of all the folks in T.V. who complain about our care facility here.
I, for one, haven't had complaints about the care I've received with our health system. |

We waited for 11 hours and I thought that was horrid. Sorry to hear about your neighbor.

Being seen and treated in the emergency room is different from waiting to be admitted or for a bed to become available.
I've been treated in the ERs at Leesburg and TV hospitals for cardiac arrhythmia. All three times I was triaged, seen by a physician, and treated within 10 minutes of arrival. I had to wait about 9 hours for a room at Leesburg but was on a gurney or in a bed in the ER, which honestly is not that much different from being in a bed upstairs. Both hospitals did very well by me in emergency situations as well as in the care I received after being admitted. (Can also attest that the cardiac ward at Leesburg is quite plush.) I feel very badly when I hear stories of people sitting in the waiting room for hours and hours but also can't help but wonder why they were willing to do so. Being in an ER waiting room for that long would exhaust and defeat me more thoroughly than whatever illness I was there for. Last edited by queasy27; 03-26-2019 at 01:51 PM. |

My friend had a serious operation the next day, guess that might be quite serious.

When I went to Strub Hospital in Honolulu I couldn’t believe that I was in, tested and seen by doctor for bronchitis and was on my way with prescriptions in an hour. Hospital did follow up calls. In Kailua, Hawaii when I broke my knee I was seen within 15 min at Castle Hospital, stabilized and the surgeon called me the next day to discuss options. I chose to fly home. Again hospital did follow up calls to see how I was on my cell 3 times a day. I was on Allianz insurance which bargains with the hospital on bills. I’m afraid to get sick in TV. Do I need to arrange for access to private nurse and how I get to Orlando in an emergency? Last edited by Velvet; 04-03-2019 at 10:23 AM. |

MOST of the people in the ER waiting room should not be there at all. They should be at an "urgnt care" where they will take care of your sniffles, give you a prescription and send you home. The operative word is EMERGENCY. IF you are truly and "EMERGENCY" they will see you and treat you. Getting from the ER to a "room" is another subject. If there is no room, you remain in the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT until they have a bed. My "guess" is: if you drove yourself there, you are probably not an EMERGENCY.

May I ask, where exactly are the people supposed to go? If I had bronchitis in TV when I can drive myself where do I go? And if I broke my knee cap and needed an ambulance, then where do I go? Oh, and Allianz would like to know too as they were looking at what services to suggest to me when I was in TV.
