I’ve been using the VA since 2016. In that time I’ve had ONE actual MD see me. All other visits have been with Nurse Practitioners.
Not complaining, just stating my experience. They’re taking good care of me, no complaints. All have been female.
I did my OWN doctorin’ last Friday, though. I was in town getting groceries, when I was doubled over in pain. Took myself to the ER and self-diagnosed that I was passing a kidney stone. Four later, it was all over, but it was awful!
Can’t imagine what life is like for people that have little to no medical care.
At the rate were going, we’ll all learn soon enough. :(
Excellent treatment for kidney stones. Good job!
