How many more?
How many more times do we have to hear about canceled appointments, rebooking, failure to follow up, refusal to see Vets, .... How many more of our brothers and sister have to die before we say enough and demand real reform....
I am over the BS with the VA, while I don't have to deal with them yet my other half does. They are the epitome of inefficiency and incompetence. I worry every time she has to go in for anything as I think they are more likely to kill her as help. Their "help" to date has not helped her in the least and they just run the same tests over and over, and give her the same crap advice. Every 2 years she gets a new Doc that doesn't read her chart or history and just assumes they know best.
I have said it before and will continue to say it the VA is the enemy of the fighting men and women!!!

Damn... I haven't had the need to visit any VA medical facilities since my discharge, and I hope I never do. This is horrific.

SSG Jessica Bautista - so far, all the VA centers that are known for problems are in big cities. I avoided going to the Dallas VA for 2 reasons, bad part of town and always heard horror stories from that VA. Big Spring is 175 miles away but seems to be better ran.

My paps has been going to the VA for about 10 years now, and he no longer drives, so for the past 10 years I've been to several VA's and I as of yet have been unable to find a VA hospital where the staff was unable to tell some colorful suicide story or another.
If you are in Pa and you need one, the one in Altoona has been decent for my father.
