That was one of President Trumps pet peeves and his biggest beef, how the veterans in the past and returning home were treated. I served from 1978 to 1983. I was injured while I was in, I received a ten oersent rating when I was discharged. I have been fighting for an increase on my service coinnected injury now for six years. I keep getting cortizone shots in my knees and the treatment doesn't match the diagnosis. I have PTSD, anxiety, depression and a whole host of other things from the service, that I can't see my professionals due to my home states probation department. If I have to start over here in Colorado, it will take me up to six months to get my specialty care providers I see in Virginia. Now Biden is talking about send doctors and nurses from the Veterans Administration down to the border to help them with the over flow of immigrants coming from Mexico.
The NRA has come up with one solution to prevent suicide amongst veterans and that is to put the picture of your loved ones on the side of your guns. We have the veterans hotline, but a lot of times even online, you have to wait ten to fifteen minutes. The other problem facing the Veterans Administration and the quality of care veterans receive has to do with our doctors. At the VA Hospital I go to in Virginia, they are a training hospital so a lot of times when meet with your therapist, you will probably have a student in there with you. That being said, I have had three primary caqres since 2019. They complete their residency and go for the big money at the hospitals. The private care doctors at the hospitals make double the salary that doctors at the VA make. See the problem?
