Just as a word to the wise. If you use VA medical care, always have your meds with you and or an updated list. Whereas the Gov't does have a list of your meds in the computer it may or may not be current. Also if you are rushed to a civilian hospital you need to notify the VA within 24 hours.
In short designate someone to keep track of you and your meds if you should be put in a position where you cannot look after yourself.
“Also if you are rushed to a civilian hospital you need to notify the VA within 24 hours.”
Why?
After the VA tried to kill me through incompetence and third-world hygienic practices, I avoid them and never will go to them again. Ever. Tri-Care for me and VA can go pound sand.
