Welcome to the world of dog-e-dog VA med, they hire bottom of the barle people that join a union, and you are right about the attude. I the military I would have never thought of writting my congressman but its about all you can do I too have been harrased by VA personal, and complaind about it...so much for the whilse blower law, it means nothing at the VA. First time I saw a doctor at the VA He said "nothing wrong with you" I complaind to the head of medical adminstration, he said let sleeping dogs lye. And I am a Gulf war Vet!
And if you have a procedure done, as in the case of my knee, no one I mean no Doctor will touch you if it was botched. When they take the knfe to you, you are theres, and they see you when they want to see you not if you can't climb the stairs to the bathroom or work. they told me even through the patient advocate you have to wait your turn, a month two months its all relative to them. Oh and don't even think about going over there head, the unpardonble sin is to go to the regional adminstrator, as in Ashville Nc. -- it was worthless anyway they just told me I have PTSD your OK.
I called the nuse line ones with a FASTING blood glucose of >350, she said sir what would you like for me to do for you?
The VA tells me to walk even if its >100 deg I ware my knee out walking, and now I am in worse shape then ever.
Thank you for your service to our country...I saved lives when I was in the military few people see that.
