Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 There's another vet! Does he have a service connection for treatment of something else. ? What VA hospital does he go to?

He actually is uninsured and is going through all of this via our Veteran's hospital. I am going with him on Monday though so I will have more of an answer. I finally convinced him to go to the doctor this morning so maybe they can give him some antibiotics or something to make him feel a little better. I know that in the upcoming months he is probably only going to feel worse...I just hope I can keep him going Thanks for your quick response. I am on and off of the computer all day so I don't always get back to it as quick as I'd like. Have a great day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I went through treatment at a VA Hospital here in CA in 2005 and got good care and have no complaints. They have continued check ups every 6 months with ultra sound and blood draws. Since I was a non-responder, they will continue care until something new comes along. There are very few SC for HCV. There should be for the air guns that were used, but the VA fights that one and it is hard to get it done. It is not considered as presumptive for vets. Your hospital should have a Liver dept and that is where the team will do their thing. If you have any problems with the VA, let me know. I have some good contacts in FL.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm a Vet also and not SC but I also had air jets shots. I am happy with all the care that I get from VA.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I just wanted to clarify, we aren't having any trouble with the VA. It just seems a little overwhelming and probably would at any hospital. Just didn't want anyone to think I was bashing Happy Veteran's Day to all Veterans and their families.
