Welcome to Hadit,
You are being treated extremely bad. Don't stand for it. Change your doc immediately & file a complaint.
Don't let this self righteous jerk get away with it. You have to advocate for yourself with all healthcare,
private & VA. The VA treats MRI's like they're gold. It took me 3 mo's to get one for my hip. They
give you the run around, but eventually order the test. If you have access to private care you're
better off, if not you have to bitch. Its a shame its like that. You served your country proudly
& deserve some respect. Good luck & thanks for your service.
