Unfortunately, that’s happening a lot. I’m sorry, and wish you luck. I can’t even find a PCP, because I haven’t been in years.

I couldn't officially get a PCP at the VA... I had a doctor who saw me regularly, but my prescriptions and appointments were always messed up because the VA could never get my status switched from Hampton to Richmond... Filled out the paperwork 4 times and gave up.

The last time I was there for the entire afternoon and said fuck it and found a doctor in town

I should say, I’m not a vet and not seeking at the VA. It’s just difficult to find a Doctor anywhere

It's so bad everywhere... Mercy has purchased everything that doesn't belong to VCU

I use a clinic for 2nd opinion and they pay attention. I'm gonna go w them. Plus the Dr is a fkn genius, the educational credentials are great.
