My dad got exellent care from the VA hospital and clinic, provided meds he 
couldn't afford and thank God for the system.   Overall they do a great 
job.........but, I feel, they sure botched this one.  Sorry, tired and 
frustrated.

Be nice Pat.  I have care from the Navy and it has saved my hand, and my son's 
life a couple of times.  The care we have received from the Naval Hospital (use 
to be a regional center for care) Balboa here in San Diego has been really top 
notch.  A lot of vets are getting  "re-built" here.
