Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi Dreamer, Sorry hear about what happened with your father and the VA. I used to see programs about that. Even though I haven't served in the military nearly everyone in my family, especially the men served. Many of the women too. So, it hurts me to see how they are treated after serving our country. That said, I thought all of that was behind us because a couple of weeks ago I saw a program that showed that VA hospitals were greatly improved and now the model for all hospitals to go by. Maybe the improvements have just started and has to make its rounds. But you know we pay $600/mo for health insurance, which I feel is expensive. I still get similar care as what your dad did. I never want to be an inpatient again. I am happy your dad had you there. I was really on my own a lot of the times and they did all kinds of tests and xrays, procedures. I had tubes in my neck and back of my arms, etc. My bill is $90,000+ from all of the procedures they did during my 2-week inpatient stay. Food was held for 3 or 4 days. Nothing by mouth not even have ice, but I did anyway as soon as I could. That's how it done unfortunately until the patient is stabilized. but the pcn part, that's scary. take care. best wishes. peace and healing, Ebony --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.
