The AG is on the speed dial. But I don't want a storm. An RN Tuesday was there reviewing the operation and I've gotten some calls, or rather my wife did.
The problem is budget and a new "cost effective" plan started in 04 by Bush's Man. I don't want to go on. A number of factors have come out of the woodwork. It is a People problem and political problem and a money problem. In other words a political problem ultimately.
Not enough staff in all fields and training Students on very ill people is not a good idea. If it waas the same person but it will be your Doctor one day and then all of a sudden you have a new Doctor or Nurse Practioner that has to spend over an hour or more looking at your records but only has ten minutes to address the problem. Epidural pain procedures are limited to two per year! Or pick two sites and come back in a year. Drs will try to help but get overuled. My Dr at other facility was making progress for me and then she was gone. Said she left but she was shifted to another clinic. The Head Dr didn't want her helping me. If they spend over ten minuets per session or too many sessions they can be discharged etc. Once a week they hold staff meeting. A Relative finally reired after having to put up with the political indoctriantion and how to limit care. Cost effective means cheap. A lot of Vets need serious help and trying to spread what there is around is not working. It is as much attitude as budget in some cases.
I really don't want to even think about any of it. There is so much more. My right arm and wrist and forearm and hand is now involved and the dis is apparenly more involved. Certainly hurts more and radiates further in back not to mention arms. I may lose complete use at some point. I don't know what to think. Another MRI is commin up sometime. appointment with clinic too look at knee but both need it is coming up sometime. Hopefully we will hear tomorrow. I have to watch myself because saying the wrong thing causes problems for me and everyone.
I don't want any more of the Guys in casual uniform at odds with me. I may need them to look out for me again.
