Just Back From My C&p Today!

[bm6546]

Had my C&P today for ED. Same nurse that gave me a C&P almost 2 years ago and from her mis-information and deletion of pertinent info, the VARO flat turned my claim down. Its almost like she looked at me as if to say, "Your back again...what is it this time that you think you have and that I can deny for you again".

I'm sorry, but I don't think I handled this examination very well. She asked me a lot of questions about problems associated with guys that have ED and repeated the questions over and over again. She could see that I was very upset and pissed off that I got her for my exam, and she must have asked me a half dozen times if I wanted to cancel or postpone this exam and reschedule for a later date. I know it would take at least 6 months to a year to get another exam.

My question is how long should it take to get the results from my C&P and how can I get a copy of the C&P.

Good thing I was riding on the VA van because as upset as I was I probably would have driven off the freeway, accidently.

Any answers would be appreciated, as always and thanks in advance.

VERY FRUSTRATED AND VERY TIRED OF THE VA RUNAROUND BS

Pete, I agree with you 100%. I am very uncomfortable talking about my ED with anyone, especially with a younger, nice looking NURSE. She isn't even a doctor, I guess that's the part that really bothers me

bm6546, are you saying she poked at your junk among other things and she wasn't even a doctor?

I find this pretty personal to just have any one do this, can you imagine if its was the other way around?

Sorry I just talked to my wife and I guess they do, I dunno just sounds bad, I would want a doctor man or woman. They VA is training these people or trained them.

Even if you are just 0% for the heart condition then I think if you filed for ED as secondary it should fly if a doctor says that your ED is a result of the heart condition. You need doctor's opinion to tie the heart attacks to the SC heart condition. When you are dealing with secondary conditions you almost always need a nexus statement from a doctor. I got PN and PAD secondary to SC DMII but I had to get medical opinions.

Ahh, come on guys.

My wife is an RN and has worked in PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, or, for us unwashed and unlearned, the Recovery Room) for over 15 years. Now, during that period of time she has had to insert catheters in male patients, oh, probably 2 - 3 times a week. So, to be on the conservative side we'll say 2 times a week. 2 X 52 X 15 = 1,560 penises that she has messed with just in the last 15 years. And, ask any nurse and she will tell you that it is a lot easier to insert a catheter in a semi-erect one rather than fool with a "softy". So, how do you think she gets 'em thataway? MANipulation, of course.

Does what she does for a living vis a vis the wee-wees bother me?

Nope. She tells me that mine far "outweighs" the other 1,500. I'll settle for that.

Larryj, I had no idea that RN or NP did things like that, I guess that shows you how much I know. Man you are funny,lol.. 1500 thats funny..

BSM, if they took it years ago and you did not improve like they said you did, that my friend may be what we call a cue. You did not appeal. It is a final decision.

I would check the rating criteria for back then and see if they had good reason to take it.

If not, I would file the cue claim with the evidence yesterday.

Good luck, I would like to see that claim.
