Question About Va Doctors Terminology...

[OnRiver]

I was diagnosed with Glaucaoma by 2 va eye dr.s and went to the heas specialist in glaucoma who said that the other two were wrong and that I didn't have glaucoma which was a relief to me. So when I went to my neuroligst I told him what had happened and that the first diagnoses were wrong...one of them being a C and P Dr. and that I was more than disturbed by the false diagnosis. He looked at me funny and I got a report on his examination weeks later. He stated that " I am concerned that this patient seeks diagnoses...."

Well yes I imagine we all want diagnosis that are coreect....somehow I think this is code for something else...dos anyone no what they mean when they say "seeks diagnosis"

Thanks

Onriver,

If you can afford about 30 bucks I'd suggest you have an appointment with a

non-va Optometrist and have a check-up. They will refract you for any visual correction you might need, check out your retina's and measure your inter-occular

pressure for a glaucoma screening. Lots of peice of mind for a small fee.

Good luck,

carlie

Its a shame that a Veteran cannot get the truth from the VA.

The VA is professional at obscuring the truth. This is what they do for a living. They are always afraid the truth will start trouble or cost someone their job. They lie and deny by instinct.
