  • The symptoms of PTSD are real. The mind controlling and habit forming drugs that the VA Phych’s put us on are also very real. I saw people sitting in the corner of my bedroom holding rifles when the VA had me on that junk. I started sleeping with my loaded pistol under my pillow. I had to get away from the VA treatment, they were killing me. I have always said that if I stay with the VA long enough they will eventually kill me.

    100% Service Connected with PTSD.

  • If someone were to go undercover at the VA Hospitals they would quickly realize just how poor our health care really is. For example why is it that we are never examined by Veteran Nurses or Physicians? My guess is the VA would never accept veteran health care professionals because they would have a tendency to be overly sympathetic to our needs. They would understand our issues and would want to help us. As it is the health care professionals we see now are just members of the big government bureaucracy and are guided by governmental policies and procedures as well as budgetary constraints. It will be 1 year since my last eye exam so I called to make an appointment for March and I was told the next available appointment was in late April. I am a 100% service connected disabled vet with diabetes, PTSD, high cholesterol and high BP. Try calling your PCP and it goes something like this,”your call is important to us, we are busy assisting other veterans. Please stay on the line and the next available nurse will take your call. You are caller “”"”"”26″”"”"”! If you figure 2 minutes per call that puts you on hold for an hour. Why do they not add additional staff? Why is the next available appointment 60 days out? And why can’t we have access to the best medications available? Why must we EXHAUST all lower brand drugs before we have access to the best drugs? Why, why, why and why? It’s all about money. Best care possible? Bull-**** that’s all I can

  • Did anyone notice that the two white dudes on the panel had absolutely NOTHING to ad one way or the other? Hell, they know which side their bread is buttered on!!!!!! Why must we have these kinds of conversations in the first place? Is it “just a black thing?”
