After I got out of the hospital this February I called the VA Hospital to set up an appointment to see a shrink. I had some real problems in my head and, mind you, I'm 70% PTSD and 100% unemployable. Didn't think there'ld be a problem to just set down and talk with my Doc. The first appointment available was in June so I took it. Got a letter in May saying that "due to circumstances beyond our control, your appointment has been cancelled. Please reschedule." Pissed me off but I did what they told me to and rescheduled for July since my head still wasn't just right and I didn't want to loose it. Three weeks later, "Due to circumstances beyond our control your appointment has been cancelled. Please reschedule." Now I'm getting really irritated. Rescheduled for August 5th and went to my bunker. Last Friday, "Due to circumstances bla-bla-bla!
On this past Monday I call the VA and talk to a guy. Tell him that if I didn't need to talk to sumbudy I wouldn't make an appointment but I really needed help. He says that he's sorry but would I like to reschedule for December? I told him that "I'm getting ready to take sumbudy out along with m'sef and get off the phone. 10 minutes later 7 Fayette County Sheriffs cars show up in the driveway. 14 cops get out with guns drawn. Want to freak me out? Let me see a rifle barrel aimed in my direction. Fortunatly I didn't see it but my daughter did. I get patted down and searched and then thrown to the ground. The Doctor called the Sheriff and told them that I was armed and threatening murder and suicide. I have no guns and have only had one in my hands since leaving VN. My daughters screaming to the cops that I'm not armed and don't own a gun. Takes a while but they finally believe her and eventually go away. My daughter drives me to the VA and they are sweet as molasses to me. See the same doctor that called the fuzz and my own doctor too. I feel much better now. Found out that the one pill that they gave me at the hospital in February, that I have to take for life, counteracts my anti-anxiety pill. Doctor prescribed different pills.
The VA for service connected vets? At their convenience, hope you understand.
