Question
Buck52
I fell in the shower last week...my arm started to swell up at the elbow down to my hand,,it was painful but I didn't think I broke anything so wife wanted me to go to VA get it checked...I did they x ray it nothing was broke but said I has cutlive bone spurs in my elbow caused by blunt truma to the elbow which I hit my elbow on the soap caddy hanging on the shower head.
ok they sent me home wrap up in a bandages and said to take 800 Ibprophen mg for inflammation and swelling of the joints.
and to come back in a week if not better..its not better but a week will be this Tuesday.
Here is my question, I was looking at my healthyvet notes last night and the RN I seen for this had put down he ask me if I had any of these symptoms he I said no to all these question's.
Do you have trouble sleeping...no....which I do I use a VA C-Pap...OSA
Does your urine smell bad no...which it does having prostate problems with a swelled prostate take meds for it
Do you get dizzy at times...no...>which I do at times
Do you have problems thinking/concentrating remembering things no.....>which I do a lot
Do you have night mares no...>which I do due to flashbacks cause by PTSD dx by VA
Do you have thoughts of suicide no...,>which I have many times
and about 4 0r 5 more questions related to MH type questions
He never ask me any of those questions and now its in my VA Notes.
I thought something was ''fishy''about that because they all know I have a claim in for PTSD.
This RN is my PCP Nurse....but however my PCP mention to me she has nothing to do with my MH Dr's she said they do my MH & PTSD and prescribe my meds for it.
All he did was a Temp & BP Test & oximeter on my finger. wrapped my elbow with bandages.
No questions was ask other wise.
This pisses me off because I have a new claim in for PTSD(gathering evidence phase) And I never was ask any of these questions he only ask me about my arm and what happen had me to go get it X-RAY..& He wrap my elbow told me to take the ibuprofen &come back within a week if not better.
I Probably will have to go back up there and see him Tuesday should I take copies of his notes and show him and ask why he lied like that? or just go straight to the Hospital Director?
............Thanks

BINGO! I have noted the very same falsification of VA medical encounters. I started audio-recording my medical appointments as my short term memory fails me on occasion, HOWEVER, it quickly became e

Well I went to the clinic to get my elbow checked, not for claim purposes. The only thing that was said was what the PCP mention to him on the computer of her impression of the x-Ray. and he took my
