LHI tomorrow

[Riplip]

Well I have my C&P tomorrow at LHI about my Meniere's claim. Should be an adventure. Going to a place that doesn't specialize in anything close to what I'm being examined for. All the new rating and nightmares I hear from everyone. I have to drive 1 hour and 20 minutes to a company that has another office 20 mins from me. I almost just quit the claim and left well enough alone but I think thats what they want. I hope I get a person that listens and reads all my doctors notes. I'll check ebenefits later today to see if I get denied before i even have my examine like last time lol.

As one wise man said: Vets we complaining about the backlog. 

 

That wise man is defending the contractors in my opinion. Contractors just want the money. No care in the world for vets. Schedule appointments, get the money. 

VA did not consider other resources, like our National Guard or reserves that has the experience.  Oh and they know what vets go through.

So from what I am understanding is that the VA do not have nurse practitioner's? Kinda hard to believe? We check directly with the VAMC to see if they could provide services. Who is we? How did we check? A phone call tells you want to here just to get you off of the phone, did any supervisor's or higher go in person and check?

Why are we hiring medical staff at the VAMC if they can't do a DBQ?  Why are we paying outside resources big money to do one and still get denied. 

I must have fell of that tomato truck. Make me smart.

It's pretty simple. We log directly into their system and look before sending there exam request. 

 

Not every practitioner exists to only do C&p's and DBQs. Most of them have other jobs, like treating patients.

Yes I do understand what is being said. I am an old vet as well. We do use training schedules. Like others. But if we are scattered brain, schedules are in effective. 

As far as logging in to see their production, easily seen on computer. Actually visiting what they do, might see them out shooting the ___. But they don't have enough time in the day. Vets eating ramen noodles and Vienna sausage. Don't see a skinny VAMC employee.
