I've Had Multiple Issues With Our VA Medical Services Out Here In Vegas For About 30 YEARS,
Just This Morning (07/09/2024) I Contacted The VA Emergency Hot Line In Washington ~ AGAIN~
And Because Of The Stupid-ness Of An Unresolved Issue I Was Referred To The D.A.V.
And Now Their Having To Deal With These SOB'S ~ I SWEAR, This VA Is SO Screwed Up,
I'm Amazed Their Doors Have Been Slammed Shut.

WHEW I DO Understand.. See My Post Above?
The VA HOT Lady Listened To What I Had To Say,
And Simple Gave Me THIS Phone Number 1-800- 488-8244
So I Dialed It , NOW The Inspector Generals Office Also Has The Case.
ALL Over My Former Primaries Refusal To Approve My Request
A Portable Oxygen Machine, And Trelegy Inhalers To Treat For My COPD.~
~ I'm Entitled To It, Orders All Set And Ready To Be Shipped. ~~
The ONLY Reason I DO NOT Already Have Them Is, Because My Primary
Refused To Approve The Order ~ BECAUSE, I Left Messages For Him To Call Me
FOUR Times ~ And I Requested My 6th Time To Be Recorded..
And I Said Every Word To Be Understood, Including Questioning
His Parentage.. .And Pissed Him Off.... NOW I'm Also After HIS, Too

Please understand that I personally do not know what you have been been through and endured concerning the VA. I only know what I have been through with the VA. And, to the unfamiliar observer what I am about to reveal may appear to be 'ol' vet' BS!
I hand-delivered my medical records from my civilian doctors on my 1st scheduled visit to my primary care VA doctor. He had them in his hand no more than 45 SECONDS and told me I had never had a lung operation.
I had an operation performed to removed the lower lobe of my left lung at age 15 in 1958. I was told I would never be able to join any branch of the US Military. Three years later, August 16, 1961 found me standing on the yellow foot prints at MCRD, PI, SC.
I saw him but three times. Each of those three times that doctor inferred or intimated to me that he thought I was lying or was full of s**t. I later found that during one of those visits he had labeled me as a hypochondriac.
I did not know we weren't allowed to just drop in on the Director of the entire facility without an appointment...I'll leave the rest of what happened to your imagination...No! They called Security to my dumb-ass and were about to have me incarcerated! That's when I learned about Patient Advocates!
In case you are not aware, I tell you this to let you know that the VA has individuals known as 'Patient Advocates'. Their sole duty is to look after the Veteran's best interest. If you have issues with any aspect of how you think you are being serviced by the VA...ANYTHING...take your grievance to an 'Advocate'. They will attempt to work with you in every way.
Btw...they had me assigned to another doctor...immediately after my 1st encounter with them. The VA Police came to the Advocate's office with intentions of arresting me. The advocate assured them she was in control of the situation and to leave me alone. They did!
