0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted April 28, 2020 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hamslice you got to go to your vamc for blood work/test? I need to see my va urologist pretty bad but my pcp WON'T put in for a referral she said since the covid -19 no appointments are made if I have an emergency go to the E.R.. duh so in case I have prostate cancer go to the ER humm ok I never knew that duh!!! I been doing the VVC Appointments with my MH Dr's and therapist now for the last 2 months...no problem there actually I like it better than being there in person...no hassle getting up at 5:00am to head out to my VAMC Appointments for a while at least... but I am ready for this coronavirus crap to head out to the sea and disappear so tired of social distancing I've washed my hands so much I may can win the pretties hands in America contest.

0 deedub75 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just had a phone appointment with my VA allergists. I haven't had my allergy shots since March and they don't know when the shot clinic and in person appointments will resume. They are hoping for mid May.

0 Carl the Engineer Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Buck, I was surprised myself. I had received the option of attending my physical in person or VVC, and chose VVC. But no such option for the blood draw obviously. So, I went. I pulled into the clinic and thought they were closed. No cars in the parking lot. Went to the door and a person met me at the door in protective garb and took my temp, ask if I had or had not a bunch of stuff. Let me in. I was the only patient in the whole place. They took my blood and ushered me out the door. LOL, Hamslice The bad news is my blood came back and my glucose is 118. She's going to yell at me again! GBArmy 1 “There is no hook my friend.

0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted April 29, 2020 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hamslice Thanks for the posting. First I have heard where a veteran physically allowed to VAMC for an exam/procedure. And, work on that glucose number, man. Do what you gotta do!

Good luck, Vync. If you aren't happy with your doc, get an outside eval. Heart issues are not anything to mess with.
