I got one for ya:
‘Released’ from V.A. Hospital Alexandria LA 06/20/2014.
Diagnosed with ‘congestive heart failure’ ....
I HAD NONE OF THE TESTS FOR THAT, INCLUDING A HEART ULTRASOUND!!!!!
My BP was an avg. 161/81 in the ward bed - Home health measured it today at 14:39, 100/60!!!!!!
They discharged me, without giving me all the medications prescribed to me. The desk nurse is supposed to go and pick them up from the pharmacy, and go over them with me, before I leave — ‘nevuh happen, GI!’ So what is the remedy? They are going to mail them to me!
They referred me to ‘a kidney specialist “stat”’, while I was in the ward .... the ‘specialist’ is at the Shreveport VAMC, which is under investigation. Did they transport me, while I was an inpatient??? NOOOOO!!! I found out THIS PAST SATURDAY, that I am ‘supposed’ to be there, THIS THURSDAY!! As of this moment, I do not know, whether the V.A. will be transporting me, or not. If not, tough luck to the specialist! Why?
“D’at d’ere city bus don’ git d’at far!”
Also, ON THIS Thursday, they had me scheduled to an appt. in the VAMC Alex Prosthetics, to pick up a blood pressure meter and a scale. HOW COULD I DO THAT, IF I AM TO BE IN SHREVEPORT???
In July, on the same day, they had me in Shreveport, and in Alex, again!
So, there ya go, folks, your tax dollars at work.
None of that surprises me. Are any of your physicians from the United States?
