Picked up the civilian Rx to take to the VA in Augusta, and was pleasantly surprised when things went smoothly.
Had to go to Triage as a 'nonscheduled" patient, but instead of dozens waiting and about a 4-hour nightmare, there were only 3 persons waiting.
Was triaged, and then seen by a Triage Physician - who typed in the new Rx into the computer and said to go around and pick it up!!
That was so wonderful to know the new law is indeed in effect!
Incidentallly, there was this week passed funding for eight VA Medical Centers in the nation to be upgraded, and Augusta is one of them.
While I no longer will be seen in Nephrology and Endocrinology with this new development, I have a great new physician in Clinic "D" to whom I will go just about every 6 months to keep my place in the System and continue to order all my medications.
Are you receiving any better care yet?
I'm fortunate to be just 45 miles from Augusta.
TC, glad you were able to rustle up two tin cans and a string down there..:))
