0 Andyman73 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The suicide thing is why they VA is contemplating cutting me off my pain meds after ten years. Because I have sleep apnea, chronic pain and anxiety and depression I am a OD/suicide risk I guess. I called the medical director's office today to get somebody involved with the incredibly poor care I am getting. The VA blames me for being sick. I am non-compliant because I cannot spontaneously cure myself of OSA, mental health issues, and chronic pain. If I can find a private pain doctor who will prescribe for me I won't go back to the VA for that care. The thing is I earned medical care from the VA. Because the care is so poor I must pay for care myself. What is wrong with this picture? I want to cause the VA grief before I go to the VA cemetery. Sounds like me. I have OSA, diagnosed by my civilian dr, chronic pain and MH issues which I have only just begun to get looked at, forl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 13, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 13, 2015 The VA needs to study potential and actual homicidal vets who have been abused by the VA. I don't feel so much suicidal as homicidal when I think of the care I have received at the VA.. When I think of the thirty years of appeals on my part and the lies on the VA's part I see big bombs of napalm dropping on the VARO. The poor patients at the VA hospital don't deserve to be crispy critters but the VA employees deserve it. If my wife did not still need me I don't know what I might do. I remember Commander Bob being afraid to be in the same room with VA employees telling his claims were bogus. I see his point. I get this feeling of hate in my guts. I know my life is worth more than that but I do pray some of these jerks die in agony for what they have done. I earned certain extensive benefits as a vet and I see them being blown away by lazy worthless individuals only concerned with CYA and their paychecks and pensions.

Berta... I think they underestimate exactly how bad it is when the VA delays our benefits for 5 years on suicide. Its a fact that economic problems contribute to suicide. Rarely do you see millionaire
