Some veterans have no choice but to go to the VA. They might have lost their job along with any health care benefits. And many of the injuries and illnesses we have were incurred while on active duty. At least the VA has some clue about treatment options, as opposed to a medical provider who has no clue about Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, and exposure to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I prefer to stay and fight. It would be easy to walk away, but that would not fix any of the problems that exist. I have a big mouth and do not hesitate to complain. Always make sure there is a paper trail by the way of emails or secure messaging which will end up in my electronic medical record - which a a good thing.
One thing we do like about being at the VA is the camaraderie we feel by seeing other veterans. There is an almost instant connection because we were all in the same boat while in the military. Some very good days, lots of bad days, and some really miserable days. So we each have a common denominator of misery - boot camp, deployments, and many have combat experience.
The mitigation efforts the VA had during covid killed all conversations. Masking, Plexiglas up between the chairs, and not being allowed to sit next to each other to have a simple conversation was intentional to further demoralize Americans.
I will be the big mouth for all the veterans who cannot speak.
The ones with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, depression, military sexual trauma.
The VA will probably wait 30 years before they do research on how the covid plandemic affected veterans...just like it took them 30 years to figure out Agent Orange was toxic.
