Question
RonP
The VA sent me to an outside Psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment, the Nemeyrer group is aware of my file going back to 2005, but heart condition started in 2003.
PTSD Moderate to Severe
Major Depressive Disorder
Dissociative Amnesia
The original VA Psychiatrist I was seeing was not effective in helping me.
He was 23 and thought Extreme Combat was a video game. No actual Knowledge of PTSD
I'm not sure he had a learners permit.
I complained to the Clinic Manager, and they assigned me to a true Psychiatrist, about 50 years old
and studied in the US. She is also an MD.
She offered me group therapy but after reading my latest C&P for my HEART CONDITION, Nemeyer case,
she denied me access to the group session, she said my heart could not take it
I live in the Philippines and fly to appointments, she has required me to have a companion where ever I go.
She says all I can Take is medical intervention through meds and counciling on an individual basis.
This all happened after a IHD C&P exam. MY ef is 28.
Are they doing this to further the guinea pig study or are they trying to build a stronger or weaker case for my PTSD ?
I am currently 62, have had a request for an increase 4 years ago and was denied by a contract Psycologist.
I am currently rated at 50 % on ptsd .
My Nemeyer case is being evaluated in San Diego California, I am seeing her in the Mindanao , Davao Region Of the Philippines.
I am originally from California and have been here 4 years. Th VA rep I have says my case is "being actively worked" , his words by San Diego.
Question////////I am flat broke , the VA has Not reimbursed me in 4 months, my VA rep says to call and reschedule due to illness, I have the FLU, honestly.
Will they accuse me of refusing treatment ? If I don't get funds in the next month, what do I do for the next appointment ?
I'm out of pocket $300 US each trip round trip, cards are maxed out, Travel Clerk and Embassy say wait your turn, funds are sent by Federal check only.
The kicker is the DR has not been paid in over a year and has 20 patients. She Can't quit because of fiduciary responsibility to client.
Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated, For some reason I feel this is a BAD Omen.
