I just read your brother's story. The way we treat vets in this country is shameful. It's a mixed up world that actors and athletes make millions while those who risk their very lives so I can sit in comfort in my home are paid so very little in terms of financial recompensation and honor and attention.

There is a Freeper who is called AFphys - I think that's her name. She may be able to help work through the VA.

There is a Freeper called something like AFphys (close but not quite right) - she is an Air Force physician I believe - she would be able to help work through the VA. Does anyone know her exact Freeper name so we can ping her?

One big problem with the VA is that congress starves them for money. It takes a certain amount of time to process a claim even if you do it with maximum efficiency, and when VA employees all have a huge stack on their desks, they back up.

The way they're ducking the Hepatitis C issue is a disgrace, though, but that's not the VA workers in the trenches, but the people at "high levels."
