Why would the VA refuse treatment to a friend of mine, fellow veteran of 35 years active duty in the Marines and Army? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/why-would-the-va-refuse-treatment-to-a-friend-of-mine-fellow-veteran-of-35-years-active-duty-in-the-marines-and-army <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My friend, Ronnie Young, is currently trapped in Iraq due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. He was receiving teleconference treatment from the mental health dept. in Mountain Home, AR but that treatment was terminated, not because personnel at the MH CBOC but, by bureaucrats in Little Rock, AR at the CAVHS. Ronnie, diagnosed at 70% for PTSD is a risk for suicide but, in this case, it appears that a rule or regulation trumps the health and welfare of a veteran who has given his whole life to protect our country. Doesn&#39;t that make you want to throw up?

Has he been able to contact his Dr or Hospital Staff and find out whats going on? SSgt Christophe Murphy Tue, 21 Jul 2020 10:37:22 -0400 2020-07-21T10:37:22-04:00 2020-07-21T09:22:56-04:00
