Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 The thing I find so sad about this is that is the way we take care of the men and women who fight so hard for our country. Sorry. I grew up military, so this hits too close to home. What a nightmare. Who can you report to? There should be some agency around that could help you. , I am so sorry about all of this! I can't believe the picc line is still usable after not being tended to! That is just plain crazy! I hope your tooth gets better. Keep us informed and if there is anywhere I can write in your behalf, I want to do that! Be well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 , I can not get insurance now and I have to deal with the VA. My CT scan showed an enlarged liver and my GGT blood work (something to do with bile duct problems) is very high. Yet, the VA gives me Tylenol #4's for pain. You know what Tylenol does to the liver and kidneys. I do not think the right hand knows about the left. They write what they want and lie on my records. They said each time I have been discharged from the hospital I had a pain level of " 0 " . Let me just say, that the day of my last discharge at 12:30 PM I had a shot of Demerol (50mg) and was sent home. I guess that is why I had no pain at discharge! Thanks for listening.
