Blog Raven’s Ravings one

I am a veteran that used to get my medical care through the Cheyenne VA over on Pershing Avenue I have heard some stories about some things that’s been going on at the VA. I first of heard the story of how they can’t seem to get enough money to compensate the veterans for the things that they’ve done but yet they seem to have the money to build a brand-new building for their psychiatrist.

I’ve also heard of some stories about how the police officers at the VA. They seem to be overzealous in their duties and how some of the MSA’s and administrative people seem to use the VA police for their private security enforcement. Because some of the people at the VA just seem to want to make the veterans mad, or they treat the veterans with disrespect, but if the veteran says anything back to down or shows any type of anger or be mad at the way they are treated then the police are called and it is the veteran that’s in the wrong.

I think what they should do is really educate the people that work at the VA as to who it is that’s coming there for treatment. Well over 75% probably close to 95% of the older veterans that are being seen there are combat veterans trained to react to situations and respond to it.

I have even been told that there was one veteran that had been without pain medication for a few months while they were trying to get him a new primary care physician and the lady at the pharmacy window wouldn’t give him his medication until he smiled. The man was in pain and had been in pain for months waiting for the VA to do something and then this lady has the gall to want to make him smile before she does her job that lady should be fired.

Now I’m not saying that it is totally the VA’s problem. It is the administrative part of VA. Some of the doctors and nurses and the medical staff in the hospital are great but when you lie to him misled by the administrative part of VA then who do you turn to. There’s not a forum for veterans to talk to the administrative part of the VA. They have a patient advocate or so they say. But she is there to make sure that the VA is covered in what happens and not there to help the veterans. You can’t have the same organization running something and have that same organization provide the means to which you can complain to them about what they’re doing wrong that doesn’t work that way. If there is to be a position for a patient advocate at the VA then that person needs to be hired separately and administrated separately than through the administration at the VA which they work. Because how are they going to fight for a patient went if they fight too hard they get fired, it doesn’t make sense.

So I’m starting this blog for all the veterans out there that it had some sort of problem in having to deal with the administrative part of VA I’ve had problems with the VA police department there. I’ve been told that the police there act like bullies so any better know there that has a story detail please email me at ravensravings@preparesurvivethrive.us and I’ll read your emails and I’ll see if there’s anything I can do. At least there’s going to be a new forum for veterans to discuss the problems that they have with the VA.

So this is the Raven this is my first blog and I hope I can continue to we can see some results thank you for reading and hang in there vets we warriors we have to stick together.

So as Red Green always says if a woman can’t find you handsome she should at least find it handy.
