Florida Hospital Waterman: "Wife fell and tore her ear. She was bleeding and in need of stitches. Went to AdventHealth Waterman ER in Tavares, Florida. Got here just past 2am. It is now 5:20am. Asked staff if she will see anyone soon and was told she will see someone after shift change at 6:00am. This is terrible. I do not know if this is normal for this hospital, but I do not think I will trust them ever again in an emergency. " - Kevin
