Re: Update on VA Discrimination

[Guest guest]

I offered her one but she preferred a " tickle test " ! Actually when they offered

her to check my sprained thumb I refused and saw a PA instead. She showed me

the x-ray, explained the bone structure and showed me the bone she was worried

about (where thumb transistions to the wrist). She also reviewed my mammogram

that had been done 3 days prior and did an excellent job at that also! She was

one of the " immediate care docs of the day "

could meet and agree on an approach. Stay Tuned!

And the mammogram showed?Think we should start a gynecomastia file if we don't have one yet. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension
