HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 3, 2010 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 3, 2010 TestVet I am right. They are trying to kill me. I have a heart condition 60%. I have all these different doctors prescribing for me at the VA and they change the treatment picture for me every time I see one of them. The bastards contradict each other and change each others orders. Then the pharmacy changes the orders. If I have to go to the news channels or talk to a reporter I will tell them that I have a heart condition and the VA has left me to go through detox on my own after years of being on narcotics. I wonder if any of them know what that is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sorry to heat that, John. I walk the razor's edge with temper exacerbated by no pain relief. There are some things worse than a VA patient copping a buzz off prescribed meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuaymasJim Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 John999-- I replied in to your other post about a possible 1151 claim. You should submit a complaint to the Joint Commission: http://www.jointcommission.org/generalpublic/complaint/ They will act on it immediately and the VA will have to respond immediately. The VA fears the Joint Commission more than any other organization--even more than Congress. I hope this helps!

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 4, 2010 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks all! I will check out the commission. I begin to wonder what the heck is wrong with me. Narcotics seem to have little effect on me anymore. Chronic pain eats at your soul. The doctors will tell you it is in your head or just suck it up and don't be a crybaby.
