You might want to report this to the OIG....not sure it will do any good, but at least the OIG does investigates things like this  or call the Washington Hotline.

OIG is cracking down on all the VAMC's

I just don't get how they can flat refuse you an appointment

I feel your pain Richard, physically and mentally.

I went to my (supposed) PC Physician, she is actually a nurse, 18 days ago. I told her about my Achilles tendons snapping again, my plantar faciatis acting up and that I have growths on one eyelid and at the corner of the other eye.

I realistically expected her to schedule referrals and did not ask specifically in the room with her.

8 days later I sent her a secure message asking about them.

I never got a response, but today,18 days later, I went into myhealthyvet files and looked at the notes.

In there the PC Nurse wrote, you mentioned the growths and your feet but you did not say you wanted a referral, do you want one?

WTF!!!!! not only did she not respond using the message platform, she seems to think I good with growths on my eyes and limping.... gee great care from this one.

She somehow, I believe, thinks that answering in the notes section protects her as an excuse for not responding to a secure message. I am going to see what the OIG says about this. It is absurd.
