Villages ER vs 466A ER
I know the ratings have improved and this was a one time deal. Woke up around 1am with a sharp pain in groin area. Went to Villages ER and was seen promptly. Dr. Examined area in pain and said didn’t see a problem. I said what about pain and said it would subside after taking some ibuprofen. Got home and pain worse so go to 466a er just couple miles from my house. Only person there and after telling nurse my issue she immediately put an iv of pain killer and anti nausea drug. Dr came in immediately without even examining me we’re doing some scans of the area. Immediately had the scan after fifteen minutes came in and said you javelin a kidney stone, the size being maybe might pass on its own or have it removed. Forgot to mention when nurse gave me that I’ve, 10 minutes later the paid subsided.:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

So CT scan showed a stone, and ER guy says it might pass on its own, or have it removed?
Was it suggested to drink plenty of water? Did he recommend a urologist, so we can send the CT scan for further review? Little surprised he used “remove it” because if that was the case your consultation should have already be in the works. Or at least a consultation with a urologist, in case a Lithotripsy (minor procedure to breakdown the stone), might be needed. Stones are very common ED visits, both departments should be well versed especially late at night. Hopefully this stone will be a one and done. Or you may end up being a repeater, which is more common than you realize. Sorry for me both ED’s were a swing and a miss. |

Remarks
I must apologize, the doctor did give all the details you mentioned. Drink plenty of water, gave me a recommendation of 3 urologist, and didn’t use the word remove. I used all the words you used.. I was amazed my primary care dr. Called me at 9pm tonight and ask me how I was doing and to make sure I make an appointment with urologist.

My Mom was treated quickly after the 911 responders suggested they take her there. This was in 2021. They did a good job. The medical staff there. |
Watch the first step
Long story short. Couldn't breathe, went to uf health leesburg hospital and 5 days later walked out after pulmonary embolisms removed from lungs. Be very careful of your choice between local er's and hospitals

Brownwood ER was great. Transported to lady lake hospital long story short surgery the next day doctor only removed 40% of my kidney stone and released me. Had to find another doctor and another surgeon. Horrible care called and complained and all they said was what do you want us to do. From now on it’s advent health for any issue. They completed the work that should have been completed. The first time will never recommend or go back to either Leesburg or Lady Lake Hospital.

Villager er
They coded my visit as a right groin strange.
|
I've had a kidney stone. Very painful. Got a morphine drip, passed it in the ER.
|
Oops
Should be strain of course.

Moral of this story - Plan in advance of which ER you would go to in the event of needing immediate attention. If you are able to drive, or have someone else drive you, it may be to your benefit to drive an extra few miles to be treated at an ER that has better outcomes than some of those mentioned here in this thread.
I have accompanied and visited several Villagers at ER’s in this area. I have learned which ones to avoid if I ever needed to be treated myself. |
Flowmax helps
If your doctor didn't prescribe Flowmax, ask. It will help increase the passage way from the Kidney to the Bladder. Drink plenty of water as suggested. First one was my worst for pain.
|
Thx for sharing. I have heard from two other people that the 466A ER is very good.

What is Villages ER, did you mean UF Spanish Plains or UF ER at Brownwood?
|
Emergency Care
Been there, done that. I have spent enough time in the local hospital's ER. I have found an excellent group of medical physicians and am very pleased with their handling and attention. Try this group the next time you suffer:

My husband just spent a week in The Villages Hospital at Spanish Springs and is now in their acute rehab facility on the 5th floor. I have to report that we've had spectacular nurses and service. We were in the ER for a short while, then the ICU, then the surgical recovery floor and now rehab. All were great. I know people complain about this hospital, but our experiences have been wonderful. I think since Univ. of Florida took over things have improved. Our visiting daughter even mentioned how impressed she was with the hospital and care.

I have used the E.R. On 44 at Meggison Rd Twice and they were outstanding. They immediately sent me for testing and blood work and found the issue both times. They were friendly and professional

I had a kidney stone years ago and the most pain I've had in my life. I took an ambulance to the ER and they had me laying in the back. I told them I need something for the pain and they said they couldn't give me anything till the doctor saw me. I replied "if he doesn't see me within 60 seconds I'm gonna scream my lungs out". He was there within a minute & gave me a shot of Dilaudid!! lol
I've been in the ER on 44 across from Brownwood and both times I went they were fantastic! |
Sorry to hear that the Villages ER is still staffed by poor practitioners. The ER up on 466 gave my wife fantastic care after she contracted food poisoning at one of the Villages restaurants, so I highly recommend them if your health and life are important to you.

From my perspective, that ONE physician needs to earn about 10 CME credits in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of renal calculi, but that DOES NOT mean they ALL do. |
Doesnt surprise me,, go to Ocala in future, or at least leesburg
