I went to the VA ER not long ago and was treated in a matter of minutes. I’m on blood thinner and I had bumped my head. It was a nasty looking knot. I was immediately given a scan and luckily there was no bleeding.
Both times I went to the nearest ER I should have driven the 45 minutes to the VA ER and I probably would have been treated faster.
I told my wife “I may die someday being treated at the VA but so far I have no complaints.”
I exited the service 22 years ago and just recently signed up for care.
