VA Clinic Blues

Don’t bother me with facts, Son.
I’ve already made up my mind

Ranger actually tires of complaining about the treatment at the Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinics, but they say venting is healthy.

22Jan10 my appointment was to see the nurse for test results. Not treatment -- simply to be given the results of a previous test. Sign in was 10:40 for an 11:00 appointment. At 12:20, Ranger was still sitting on his thumbs.

The story was, the nurse was out-tasked, and nobody else bothered to take care of me or even notify me of what was happening, even though my check-in was duly noted on the computer check-in log.

This sort of incompetence and negligence is remarkable. Doubly so since no one would have done squat until and unless Ranger unleashed his mouth.

What is the problem? Is it just me?
