G. D. VA
 

I've been trying for months to get treatment for my feet close to home. So I got paperwork in the mail other day sending me almost the same mileage in another direction. This is some of the bullshit about the new program called VETs choice.
I've been out of one of my Glaucoma drops for 3 days. And after a bunch of calls I'm no wiser. I called the telephone advice number today and got someone in Houston, TX. I'm damn sure they knew something about my eye drops in Jackson, MS.

I'm sorry, it sounds like a horrible nightmare :( Are your eyedrops supposed to come by mail?

Mail, yes.

Which eye drops do you use, Buster? What is it that you're missing?

Hi. Little rabbit. I really need, I guess because they said I did. Brimonidine tartrate. I have more of other 2 that I use.
Maybe to clear this up. I called a # for refills and they said was out of date, press 1 for a refill. So days later I called and got the run around. One gal told me they don't check that much, so she would check. Lots of luck with that. No fucking wonder they have screening at VA, for weapons.

How long before you run out are you supposed to ask for more?

WAG, but about 10 days. Depends on the assholes in Jackson

Looks like you're going to have to push that to make sure you stay stocked. You know that person in Huston probably had as much information about you and your meds on their computer, as anyone in Jackson.

Yeah, but, but they probably spoke Spanish and not e-bionic. So I wouldn't have a fucking clue. Sarcasm

don't spose Spexx can help?

Spexx speaks Spanish?

What a nightmare.

Well I had a nice stock, by gaming them some what. I got the lady that gave me basic eye test to give me some, then the intern for more.
But some act like they're paying.

I suppose if they give you something without paperwork, and you have a bad side effect reaction, their ass is grass. Everything has side effects and sometimes they don't show up until you've been exposed for awhile. The other thing is it's government property and you know as sloppy as the government is, they do like to pull inventory at inopportune times.

You can't really blame them for covering their ass, so your best bet is sucker punch them and run with... ok, limp with, the goods. ;)

No, Hindi. ;)
Sorry, I'm all about the glasses, not eyes or meds.

Buster, what's the percentage of your meds? Tell me before the end of the day. I don't come back to the office until next week.

Better to text me your whole prescription. How many times a day, what's the %,of the med. Oh, doc said to take a picture of the med and text it to me. She needs more info. Do it asap. She's feeling generous but she's an impatient woman. My phone number in your inbox.

Much thanks dear. Mine came today. So I'm good to go for a month, with 6 refills. What the harm was for doing without for those days will have to be seen.

Please check your pm. :)

I've been trying for months to get local care for my feet, a foot nurse, the have one about 3 blocks from my house. I live 67 miles from VA jackson and 55 to my clinic. So my Dr. got me appointment with a foot Dr. This is under the new Vets choice. Well the appointment is, by google 68 mile away. If you're over 40 mile from the VA SUPPOSE to get local care.
Of course the VA is, was using straight line miles. The American Legion has been trying to change that. Ever been the midwest? Try cutting across a state there. Look at a map of, say Iowa. The damn roads are laid out in squares.
