My uncle has good things to say about them. He's a regular there.
Heal up quick and go fishing!
WILL DO, JUST NEEDED SOME TUNE UP WORK...ha THE GOLDEN YEARS
I go to the VA only for issues that are service connected. Most Drs I see are interns and are exceptionally courteous. The problem is not the care itself, but , getting the care takes forever. Took me two years to get to see a foot doctor.
I never see the same doctor twice at the VA, so there is no doctor/patient relationship verses seeing your local care provider.
It is not the doctor, it is not the nurse, but it is the jerks with the alligator purse.
Glad all is well RR.
Tom, I totally agree . it take along time to get things done. I had to write my State Rep awhile ago to get a biop of a growth in my throat that they said it would 4 months. after the email to my state Rep I got it in two days...
My father-in-law went to the VA in Louisville for cancer treatments. They gave him all the pain meds he needed, but the cancer was growing. We finally got him to see a specialist in Chicago. The staff up there said he had one of the most treatable forms of cancer. He died two days later.Quote:

they treat me good
It can be a little on the negative side , I''ve had both most of my stuff isn't connected so I have co-pay's .now days they can do most on a outpatient which is only $50 no matter what
I go to a care center and Va Hospital here in Nashville. I don't have so much trouble getting in to see them. For me the trouble is getting them to do something. They just seem to take a real conservative approach to treatment. I went to them about 1 yr ago to check on nerve damage. The lady was sticking these long needles in my legs and back and then hitting me with electrical charges. Not really that fun and a few had me jumping... When we were done she stated that I did have some issues and to speak to my primary VA Dr. I did at my next scheduled appointment and he didn't even know what I was speaking about. When I spoke about them sticking me he though I was speaking of shots. In fairness he was just reassigned as my Primary care physician as the other one quit. I told me that he didn't even read my medical records ... Guess they are working on their annual bonus program.
Wish you a speedy recovery...
