Not motorcycle related. I was wondering if any of you have had difficulty getting in to see a Doctor at the VA for an actual problem. Its easy to get in for the annual physical.
This is the first time I have tried to use the VA for a medical problem. I called them last Friday expecting to get an appointment. Instead, the guy on the other end took down my symptoms and forwarded the info to the triage (sp?) nurse. That nurse called me back several hours later and got more specific on symptoms and gave me a phone diagnosis. He said some one would call me Friday afternoon or Monday after my primary care physician decided how to proceed. So far, they have not contacted me and I feel like I have been ignored and that the VA's reputation is well deserved.
My quality of life and job are being affected and I am only 44.
