HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 22, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 22, 2006 Do you mean how long you have to wait to get the exam or how long the exam wil be time wise? My exams usually lasted about 10 minutes. As to how long you will have to wait, God knows, but I would think probably a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrewer Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 My husband has an exam scheduled for next month, so just wondering how long the exam itself would last. It said knew GAF, so I thought that would take awhile but I don't know. Thanks, sbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 22, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 22, 2006 sbrewer Mental C&P exams can really go fast as the doctor just asked me a few questions and took a look at me and that was it. Unless the vet is really out of it I don't know how a C&P doctor can really do an assessment of a person's mental status in 10 minutes but that is exactly what they do. If you have a recent IMO that is a good time to give it to the doctor doing the exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrewer Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks John, My husband just had an appt. friday with mental health through the VA and the person he sees told him about the scheduled C&P before he was notified in the mail. She also told him that she knew the dr. doing the exam and had known her for 20 yrs. and she told him to take some printed matierial (that he had given her) and give it to the dr. at the C&P. Have you ever heard of this procedure? Thanks for your help sbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
