Good Evening

My main complaint of this whole nightmare is that I don’t have a social worker that is supposed to be assigned to my mental health PACT TEAM.

Without having a social worker on my PACT TEAM as made my life upside down. Having one of the most important person missing from my team has created inadequate care for my wellbeing.

I was discharged from the 7th floor physic ward from a mental breakdown, with no direction, no guidance. Just like discharging a blind person and tell them to drive home.

Me having an appointment with my nurse for her to just put notes in my record and my first session to see a therapist would be over a month is not getting the proper care, especially from just having a mental breakdown.
The Cincinnati VA has been known and been caught red-handed manipulating a situation in their favor. I need my social worker to help navigate me through these troubled times from having a mental break down.

If I had a social worker on which I have been asking for since the day I was discharged from the 7th floor physic ward which was September 11, 2018, I wouldn’t be sending you this e-mail. Most likely I would of already taking the reins of my life again from my social worker navigating me through these trouble times.

Even if I had a social worker part time that gave me the right phone numbers and right resources that worked. And with a little navigating I would be well back on my feet again. If someone just took a little time to investigate this matter besides emailing or calling down to the VA to get your answers it wouldn’t take long for you to see the red flags popping up.

I was informed from a few VA staff when they investigated my records that I have been getting the run around and that they would get back with me. I had the social worker from the 7th floor informed me I was getting a run around while I was trying to get a social worker assigned to me. 3 different times I went to the 7th floor social worker to help me get a social worker.

He said one reason why he thinks I am getting a run around because they are shorthanded. He told me he will make a phone call to get to the bottom of this and that was the last time I heard from him.

I’m sure the people you talked to and said whatever they said to you is most likely the same people that told me that my situation is complicated, and with a little diversion tactics they put on me I left their office with no help or give me phone numbers that don’t work.

If someone investigated this matter you will clearly see something is differently wrong with what is being said from the referrals to the VA for my behalf when I call begging for help. And come live with me a few days. You will clearly see there is something differently wrong with this situation for me to become whole again.

I will sign a release of information form, if you would like. The biggest problem with veterans making complaints from not getting the proper care from the VA is that nobody REALLY LISTENS, and a real investigation doesn’t take place to see what is really going on.

Than you wonder why there are so many sucides

Seems like they only listen to the VA side of the story and not even bother to get with the veteran to get their side of the story. A proper investigation is not e-mailing or calling to the place where the person is making a complaint about. That would be the same as calling a bank robber that robs banks and ask them, did they rob a certain bank?

What would you think their response would be?

Having a social worker would be my advocate when I have difficulties just like on what I am going through now.
I took this matter to a different chain of command. I now know that the Cincinnati VA chain of command was broken right away from me trying to use it. One person that I thought I would trust and maybe get help with was Mrs. Huston which at the time oversaw the Cincinnati VA.

Nope she didn’t even call to check with me to make sure I was ok and to say Mr. Axt hang in there, we will look into this matter. You know, if she just took 10 seconds from her day to call and said that to me it would have risen my hope from despair. Twice I wrote to her, and twice no reply.

That’s the same as the sucide prevention coordinator on the 9th floor did to me. I called and left a message begging for help. And he didn’t return my call. I just found out that Mrs. Hutson was removed from Cincinnati VA for not doing her job PROPERLY.

That’s the same reason why I am writing this letter to you for the IMPROPER care that I am receiving.
Another part of the chain is broken is my Patient Advocate Kimberly Scott, she did more harm to me than you can imagine, I have no respect for her, for what she has done. I will never speak to her again. I have proof and evidence on why I will never trust her again.

Not only I took this matter to a different chain of command I will be presenting this to the news. I will no longer tolerate this abuse from the Cincinnati VA. I had enough abuse from my childhood trauma.

If this was a different circumstance, I’m sure I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, because the BIG DOG always wins. But, with Cincinnati VA track record from the times they have gotten in trouble with wrongdoing, scandels, inadequate care and etc. I might have a little hope that someone will listen to me and do a real investigation to see the truth.

I have a question for you. What would you do if this was your son or daughter getting the same improper care that I am receiving? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t let that happen. So, why should I have to?

If you really listen on what I just wrote its more leaning toward a cry for help than a complaint letter.

Thank you for you time

I have been getting abuse, neglect, derecliction of duty, improper care where it has my life up side down. Cincinnati VA has some cracks that I have been falling through. I became suicidual twice over this. Lost my business. I had a place to at-risk-homeless. and by definition I am now homless. I know that veterans has taken their lives over this matter. If you want to slow down the suicides than listen.

Abuse is abuse

And it is wrong on so many levels

If you see somone abusing a child.

You damn well know, anybody and everybody will do something about it and have that abuser punished.

Now here is the million-dollar question.

Why is it, that the va is getting away with abusing veterans?

Abusing a child and abusing a veteran are in the same category.

Their evil acts, it’s wrong on so many levels, it’s a sin, and it’s a crime.

Than how come no one is getting punished for all the abuse that the va is doing to veterans?

And who ever witness any kind of abuse and turns their back from it, is as guilty as the abuser.

Please report any abuse. nobody deserves being abused. nobody
