Message:   There have been many letters, either pro or con regarding the Villages Hospital ER. While it is true that all hospitals may have some problems that need correcting, that doesn't make it OK. Just because Hospital A has problems, it doesn't make it OK for hospital B to also have problems. Having problems should not be "the norm". I am sure that for the most part, our hospital is a fine institution, and people go there to get well. Most people are given quality care. But there are problems that still need to be addressed, and fixed!

I had a horrible experience in the ER, with the triage nurse, and a night nurse. I have no complaints about the ER doctor. He was kind and caring, and was able to diagnose my problem. The care was good, but the nurses were the rudest, most insensitive people I have ever met. I was extremely ill, and they had no compassion at all, to the point of being angry at me for being sick. They made a bad situation even worse. These are two people who need different jobs, not working with sick people. Maybe not working with people, at all.

People who put their heads in the sand are fooling themselves. If problems are not fixed, they will only get worse. While The Villages is a wonderful place to live, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, there are still problems that should be addressed. No matter how wonderful something is, it can always be better.
