I go to one of the best cardiologists in the southeast. On several different occasions a VA doctor has ignored his instructions on medications... one time changing my medication to another type. I didn't know this happened.... just thought the VA doc prescribed a generic equivalent instead... Then I had a heart attack...... My DIL brought my meds into the emergency room. The next day I was told that my doctor (the cardiologist) threw one bottle of VA meds across the room. He told my DIL that it was "no wonder" I had an attack. He fired off a letter to the VA doctor and was apparently very hostile because the next time I went to see the VA doctor, they told me that I…

I had several refills left on the rx. So after leaving messages for the nurse, clinic clerk....and almost a month later they now are back in the system - again no one can tell me what happened. Very frustrating ...

I just spent a good part of the morning checking on my medications as I always do on 1st of the month and 3 prescriptions had expired. I tired to call my Doc to get her to refill but I had to wait almost 10 minutes to talk to an operator to get my clinic and than 20 minutes with call center who is supposed to notify pharmacy and hopefully get the refills Man I wish I had John McCains Insurance Card.

Does anyone know how I can resolve my problem. I was told by my Dr to start calling in 10 days before my next fill on my CII med-Methadone so she would know to write a new script and send it to the pharm and have it sent to me via FedEx. Well I called every single day for 13 days and all I got were communication failures between staff members or maybe the Dr just forgot to write the script or has to many pts. This is not a med that you can simply skip a couple of days, you will suffer terrible withdrawls even life threatening. On top of this the staffing is so bad that it is hard to even get someone in their office to pick up the phone. There has to be a system in place f…

On one of my exit physicals from 1980 on #34 U-G System, Abnormal is checked, then written to the side it states #34 CIRC ,that is all it says. I googled it and came up with cytokeratin-positive interstitial reticulum cells (CIRC). Does anyone know what it is? and complications. Trying to prove my claim for DM II and looking at all SMR's with a fine tooth comb. Thanks Boats
