In need of MORE "anger management"!!
I'm gonna have to spend some more "quality time" with my PTSD & anger management counselor in the next few days cause I nearly had to WRING A WOMANS' NECK today at my VA hospital!
Was standing in line at the pharmacy prescription turn-in window when this B---H behind me started bitchun & moanin about how long it was takin for her and her husband to get his prescription filled. And, she started telling evryone in line (about 10 or 12 of us) how SHe and HE would NEVER come to the VA hospital for R-E-A-L inpatient or outpatient treatment cause THEY had the money to get their own private doctors. And, the ONLY reason they were there was to get their seven-dollar co-pay medications offered to ALL veterans now. (Now I KNOW they must have the $$$$$ she was talkin about cause I saw them drive up in a NEW 2002 Mercedes Benz 500 class sedan when I was gimpin my young ass in the front door). Welllllll, y'all know me by now, don't-cha? I lit into her smart-ass like a frustrated southern Baptist preacher whose whole congregation was asleep while he was deliverin his sermon! At first I asked her (nicely I might add, with ALL my suthern "graciousness") if her husband was a "disabled vet"---she said NO, we just come here to get the "cheap" medicine. THAT'S WHEN I LET HER HAVE IT! I won't go into ALL of the "tirade" I let her (and him) have, but needless to say they left with a little "different" perspective of WHO shloud be "eligible" for these so-called NEW benefits offered now to ALL veterans! I basically told her & him that THEY were the problem that was now causing the "back-up" at ALL VA hospitals & clinics. When Congress opened up the VA to ALL veterans for medical care & "cheap" prescription meds (they were only a 2 dollar co-pay, now at 7 dollar co-pay) REGARDLESS of whether their "conditions" were "service-connected" or NOT is why SHE & HIM were now waiting so freakin long in that damn line with the rest of us! I told her what Congress SHOULD have done (if anything) was offer these vets a prescription CARD (similar to Medicare) where they could take their G--Damn "co-pay" to a private pharmacy if their conditions waranted medication., AND "service-connected" vets as well if they so desire. But, she and him should get back in their expensive new car, and take their expensive little "asses" out of the way of the vets that DON'T have the $$$$$ to go elsewhere for their treatment & drugs!!!!!!! A few of the guys in line started sayin ---- HELL YES!! GO AWAY!! Anyway, my blood pressure is UP slightly and I guess I'll go and get some of my "cheap" meds!! Nighty---nite!!
