Democrats support big government, right? Lots of social programs, right? Increased government spending, for things like the VA, right?

BB - I know how the waiting sucks. Ya'll, the VA is simply overwhelmed with so many patients. Plus they are used as teaching hospitals, which further burdens them. My biggest complaint is I never see the same doctor twice & then it is a non-native speaking resident. The language barrier really sucks

Sounds like things could be improved by building more facilities and improving the staffs. Tough to do with all the budget cutting going on.

If you want my reply again, start another thread.

Sorry, I must've been having a British moment. That's absolutely ridiculous. it's not like you're waiting for your first appointment, she knows exactly what the problem is and how serious it is.






Classic, you have no reply, if you did you'd start your own thread. You got pwned.

We miss you Buster, and I'm sorry your doctors all suck. Take care of yourself, that pneumonia crap can get very nasty very fast.
