Byron Skinner. Do you really honk that somebody thinking of ending his or her life would actually volunteer for this outreach program. Somebody on the suicide trail has given up on any authority and is make the last decision in his/her life their decision. The VA. Medical Center here in San Diego does a crappy job with the potential suicided, especially as the environment of the COVID lockdown. There is no operational VA medical and although I don’t at this time know and body thinking of ending their own life, I’m sure there are several Veterans who have tried to get some VA Help and was stopped at the Door. About a month ago I had a growth on my elbow and didn’t know what it was. I wen up to the VA Medical Center, after about ten minutes of explaining why I was there I ws to to go to the Emergency Room. I checked in and went to a waiting area ,I was alone i had sat for an hour without no body came to check on me, or just to talk to. I got up and walked out, as i walked passed the walked past the clerk who said Good-by. This is the rarity of the VA in 2020.
