I went to Fort Worth for a C&P. The guy I saw first, was having PTSD problem'smad.gif . He got in my face and was pretty much worthless. The other C&P test there was pretty good, but I do not think he knew what he was doing. wacko.png

Was this a white guy late 40's early 50's with a scowl and about 6'3 ish? The guy that I had possessed the worst attitude. He may have denied my claim with a negative opinion but may have opened up a claim for anxiety by using my psyche eval against me for a non psyche issue.

Yes, I'm a white guy in the early 60's, but he was the crazy guy, who look with in a 40's or 50's and maybe was the one who denied my claim for depression!! I'm close to 420 % plus percentage and he did not think-------- I was not depress!

You had the pleasure (i use the term loosely) of being examined by Dr. Darren Hightower. The other doctors are about 60 ish.

I read he is, or was, a PA (Physician's Assistant).

They seem to use them more, but I am surprised for a C&P, if he is still a PA and not a Doctor.

Google the following and it will all come up.

Darren Hightower PA

I have a cardiology appt tomorrow at my VAMNC for my afib. I have only seen a PA. He seems very capable but it does bother me I am not seeing a cardiologist. He put me on Flecainide that can induce dizziness at my age ( I found out after the fact). I had a spell 3 weeks ago and went face first into the floor. 5 stitches. I stopped taking it and am not getting them like I did.
