Yes. I was treated very well by the VA fourteen years ago when I had other surgical procedures.
I’m fortunate to have locally a very efficient VA facility. I do understand not all such facilities are as excellent, and do not provide for our veterans as well as that facility.
Prayers the VA will get the attention necessary to ensure all our veterans receive the promise they were made, and are due.
My last time at the VA there was some guy yelling and making a mess in the waiting area. He spilled some gatorade and yelled for someone to clean it up.
The staff was busy as hell, so I got up, cleaned up the mess with paper towels from the bathroom, then talked to the guy, telling him that we are ALL vets and we are all in the same unit. He calmed down.
Shortly afterward I was called for my vitals. They took me into the ER area, gave me a bed and thanked me, telling me to rest up there as I waited for the doc. Best I’ve been treated - anywhere.
