dealing with the VA for us with chronic multisympthom illness. What problems are we still having with medical care, transportations, claims filing, voc-rehab or VA loans. Please write to "Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans" 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420 ATTN:Laura O'Shea, at (202) 461-5765 Now, my rub comes with regard to ordinary Americans who seem oblivious, uninformed, an attitude of "let someone else do it", or just plain willing to sit by and allow our nation, our troops, our fallen to be denigrated, physically desecrated, and generally dishonored. It is useful to write letters to elected officials, send email to leadership, even fax our leaders, make phone calls, sign petitions, and other forms of communications, but you know what? They don't pay attention to these impersonal means of protest........veterans needs to come to the recognition that we must sound the alarm, rise off the couch, put our boots on, and meet those that have a goal of America's destruction face to face, head -on. It's one thing to voice a position but the tactic that works is "boots on the ground"...we must show up, stand shoulder to shoulder. Now you see why 41 cents is the best method to communicate. dc_medic

complaints are associated with increased malpractice risk What would you do? You gone to Temple TX VAMC because your not feeling well. Your vital signs are irregular. You were told a year early that you had Cardio problems, possible heart attack. The doctor request a followup exam in 6 months. Yet the next time you get a Cardiologist exam is a year later. The newest doctors tell you, possible that today, you have survived 2-3 heart attacks. Your argry that in the last year, you were NOT given an drugs to strenghten your heart. My brother's heart has suffered unnecessary damage due to lack health monitoring and care. Kirt (254) 456-2291 is a gulf war vet and in his early forties. The Patient Advocates have been dismissive and taken to steps to improve communication between my brother and the appointment system. It is this type of neglect that cause vets to die and early death. How would you handle this grevience? Jagmedic
