I hate to say it, but this is what happens when a generation of people who got participation trophies and regular boosts of self-esteem for no reason go to war.

I’m so sorry Mr. Geoghagen, US vet.

But we don’t have funds left for you after we feed all of the poor children pouring over the border.

After WWII my father was like that and they never figured out why but they solved the problem by cutting something and he literally couldn’t throw up.

This is what to expect when the government controls your health care.

The VA has not managed to diagnose him but somehow seems to be convinced whatever may be wrong with him is not related to his military service? How does that work?

I have no idea how to get him care, I hope someone can get him treated by a competent doctor.

There was a case like that in the Readers Digest a few months ago, kid was throwing everything up almost immediately. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

He needs to move back to the other VA.

Why is he waiting on the VA? Someone needs to walk him into any hospital emergency room. Now.

If he doesn’t have Obamacare, he can sign up for it after the fact. A physician may be able to submit the paperwork for him to receive state disability (check with the doc). He could have something minor or something major going on with him but waiting around on the government isn’t going to make things better.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully, some publicity will help him. Based on personal experience with my son at several VA facilities, the story sounds believable. As a parent, it was like being alone in the ocean trying to get help. One good thing has come from the recognition of how bad the VA can be, and that is that these soldiers now know they are not alone.
