Question
TANKERJOE0
i just returned from 3 c&p exams today.
i am besides myself.
please people dont critisize me for the way i type this post???
im trying to unwind and catch my breath and find some help from seasoned vets with this experience.
the dr who conducted my exam for my ptsd claim was sooo condescending,rude,very impolite and very uncaring or thorough.
i brought my wife with me and he said she was not allowed in the exam????
i asked once again once we got into his room as to why she cant be in w/me and he said because this is what i said is going to be done and thats it???
i have terrible anxiety and memory problems so i needed her to analyize and help me during and after the exam???? about what happened??
he vigoursly interrogated me for about a half hour and it was over.
he did not even touch on any of the problems i face or effects it has on my life.
he asked me more about my child hood, arrest records, drinking problems???
of which i dont have any???
i hope there is a way to justify my claim in another way???
i dont know what all the acronyms mean nod or dro hearing?
i guess ill be reading up on all of this while i wait on the decision to come back??
all 3 exams went almost exactly the same,except the drs were nicer then the phsyc???
i felt like i was on the stand being cross examined by the prosecutor for a capital murder trial???
i was so thrown off, i dont even remember what he asked?? what i said???
i just was sooo uncomfortable and feel violated???
there is no need to conduct an exam like this.
i have severe anxiety issues as it is just going out in public anymore.
let alone have this guy be this way?????
i left the appointment and went outside and literaly cried to my wife that i cant believe it went like that??
ill await the decisions and then i guess go from there.
i guess i should have expected this. from reading so many posts i should have been prepared for a fight till the end.
i already fought in a war??thats whats made me like this.
i didnt think id be home fighting again against my own govt.?
i am so angered that this is how vets are treated after returning or serving our nation.
i thought i truly knew about it from hearing news stories about other veterans, war veterans (vietnam vets) what they were being treated like.
and how they were and are still treated today.
but i truly apologize from the bottom of my heart.
me and millions of other americans dont truly know what vets go through.
its a crime that should be punishable by laws!!!
now that i got just a little taste of what goes on.
i just knew in my heart though that someone could examin me for an hour and just know from what i told them how bad i am actually feeling.
but was i ever wrong.
any body have anything to say???
thanks
