Privacy Act Amendment Note

[Josephine]

Hi to all,

Does anyone know why the Two Quack Psychiatrist sent their copy of my C&P to the Regional Office without any Amendment.

Three days later, I picked up a copy at the VAMC.

I was astonished by what the lady quack had written down.

I immediately sent a " Formal Written Rebuttal" and ask for the incorrect statements to be removed and the medical evidence that had been changed.

The quack refused to remove the in- correct statements.

When the nurse wrote a " Statement for me", as she saw my confusion after the C&P and treated me with a follow-up telephone call.

Her statement was tacked on to another copy of the same C&P and one month later Dr L had placed in bold type

PRIVACY ACT AMENDMENT NOTE - you may not VIEW this exam.

Why would someone do this, knowing that I had a copy of the exam and had filed a formal complaint.

Am I just dumb? You don't have to answer that question.

Always Appreciate,

Josephine

Good point. The VA is a somewhat "closed" system, answerable only to itself. However, the doctors also have to hold a license and be regulated by professional boards. You kind of wonder what professional licensing boards might think of someone tagging you with a diagnosis without doing appropriate testing in order to deny you benefits.

I think that they are backing down. If you win are you going to let the two liars off?

Betty,

Have you ever tried personally contacting the male shrink who consistently refuses to sign his name to the document despite being a part of the interogation, err, I mean C&P Exam?

I am not sure what you meant by "He only did the speaking and you know what I mean. He knows that I know what he did." If you are alluding to the possible hypnosis or regression or whatever the correct term is, was he the one who put you in such a state? If so, disregard my previous paragraph and stay as far away from him as possible as I believe he is dangerous.

Hang in there and keep us posted.

TS,

No, I have never contacted Dr. G. Bxxx, I still hear that low tone voice of his and wonder why he was a part of such a charade.

Desperate I guess. I may have gone home and went to sleep, as he told me too, of course, I have no recollection of this. My husband spoke to him 3 times that day and he said that, " I would remember what he looked like in about 3 days.

It only took me 7 months to see him standing in the corridor when I went running back into the hospital, for I couldn't remember what happened in their office and saw the nurse immediately.

I thought that I had a stroke or something. I have her written statement of treatment.

Always,

( Josephine)

Free,

The Virginia Board of Licensee is exactly where I shall head with these two, for I can prove everything that I am saying.

They have been ask to back down about 3 times and the lies keep getting larger and larger.

I read your post and I do believe an IMO will bring your case in for your husband.

The VA also knew that his constant Bronchial symptoms were a warning of a problem.

Thanks,

Josephine

This is what I would do, I would try as hard as I could to set aside my anger with Dr. L L. Unfortunately, she is the Key to getting a very good rating right now. I would write her a carefully worded letter, one that allows her to get out of this poor exam she did and save face. She has already dropped the personality disorder and replaced it with anxiety, but now she is saying it is preexisting, so I think she is back pedaling.

What I would do is find out what credentials she has and start the letter by using the credentials to build her up, explain that she has a difficult job and that we all make mistakes.

Make sure to lift her on pedestal, then hit her with a statement like would it be possible that you meant to say that "anxiety appears to have been in the service".

Just my thoughts

Happy Trails

Paul,

I have never once spoke to this doctor. Dr. G. B did all the talking and now it appears that he wasn't present in the room.

One day in the mail, I received notice as a " Reminder" of my clinic appointment.

I immediately called the R. O and was told I needed to go down for treatment as recommended by the first doctor that did his C&P.

When I arrived, I was not listed on the appointment sheet and the receptionist had no ideal of what I was doing there.

She paged DR. G. B and this lady came up and demanded a financial statement.

She never spoke to me she told this to the receptionist.

The receptionist told me to have a seat and later this lady doctor comes to get me and my husband ask to go back and she refuses.

We walk down this long corridor and she never speaks and inside the room was Dr. G B.

He did all the talking. She never once said a word. She sat in the opposite corner of me and he sat at a desk, out of my line of vision.

He made chit chat talk and then all of a sudden, I hear him say, " Tell me about the pool"?

This is where I remember only bits and pieces. I see myself standing in the middle of the room, screaming in that water.

I recall looking up at them and saying, " Can you swim"?

I have no ideal of how I got out of that chair or how I returned.

I see things going on in the room. I see the blinds behind me and they were closed.

I hear myself saying, " You may think that I don't know who you two are, but you are doctors for the Veterans Administration".

Somewhere, I was susposed to take a nap, but did not.

Am I crazy? Almost, but not quite.

Paul,

Both times that my claims file has gone back to the VAMC, I have ask to come down and meet with them, but they refuse.

Always and appreciate,

Betty
