My gut went sideways back in early March, and the colonoscopy that should have been performed then will finally happen next month, but not at the VA hospital--as they no longer have the personnel on staff qualified to perform the procedure, nor do they do any surgeries requiring general anesthesia for the same unfortunate reason. It took 6 months for me to find a local clinic willing to fit me in their schedule. I'm pushing 80...I don't have a whole lot of time left to wait for treatment for the kind of age-related medical issues I anticipate will present themselves eventually. Everyone knows what is happening at the VA, and has been happening since TrumpCo's 1st administration --stressing the system just enough to break it, then proffer privatization as THE only solution.
