THE VA REFUSES TO DO THE NEEDED TESTING, SO I WILL REMAIN ON THE ANTIBIOTIC IV FOR ANOTHER 21 DAYS, FOR A TOTAL OF 91

It will be the 35 days in the hospital and then 56 days as an outpatient.  I am a slave to the infusion therapy.  Do not get me wrong, I feel like I won the medical lottery with my infectious decease doctor.

Think about this, it was a year in February since I first asked to be treated for a sinus infection.  The VA doctors in Harlingen are not qualified to diagnose a sinus infection.  It was in August that my brain surgeon made a big deal of the sinus infection when he saw in my annual CT scan of the brain shunt.  And still no meaningful treatment.

Now there is a bill of over $1 million.  And get this, the quacks at the VA still refuse the complete treatment.  God can tell these turkeys a CT with contrast is not reliable to diagnose mastoiditis, and they will tell God, "What do you know?"

Now I pushed for the MRI with contrast, but to no avail.  It was approved, but community care refuses to schedule it.  So, my doctor has to treat me blindfolded.  He is good and will succeed. The MRI could show it is time for surgery on the mastoid bone, but we will never know because the VA will not do the MRI.

For 4 1/2 months I have been on a mush diet, with rare exceptions.  It began when mere water closed my throat, and I could not breath.  Now get this, no VA doctor has so much as examined my neck, looked into my mouth or taken a culture.

There is nothing I can do.  They agreed to a swallow test, but then community care rejected the request.  So that is it, I will continue on a mush diet.

WELL, NO WE ARE LONG PAST A CLEANING OF HOUSE AT THE VA

There is massive waste at the VA, and neglect.  Healthcare skyrockets every time they refuse care, and it then turns into a crisis.  DOGE needs to come to Harlingen and remove all community care employees who cannot justify their failure to secure care for veterans after a being ordered to do same.

A big problem is Dr. Gogia.  He was never trained to be an administrator.  He has made clear to me, any community care provider can falsify a veteran's medical records they are difficult, and the VA must notify other community care providers of the complaint against the veteran.  They then deny the veteran services.

This is so far from the law it boggles my mind Dr. Gogia could actually believe it.  More and more veterans are being denied community care after they file a complaint against a community care provider.  The VA says the veterans have no due process rights to challenge false claims against the veteran.  

You know what, when a community care provider blows the IV midline after using too much pressure to infuse the antibiotic, then spends an hour 15 poking me with no success to create another IV access, then refuses me my painkiller for over 2 hours, I am going to demand to be moved to another facility.  But according to Dr. Gogia they can put a warning into my medical records accusing me of being a threat.  Yes, I am a threat to their continued malpractice.  According to Dr. Gogia, the veteran has no right to challenge the claim. 

FOR ME SOLARA REHAB INPATIENT CARE LASTED ONLY ABOUT 12 HOURS

The second the VA opened the next morning; I made it clear they were to take me back to Valley Baptist or I was checking out.  The care was abysmal.  

Once the administrators learned the VA agreed to remove me, they went into action demanding I justify my complaint.  The chief social worker verbally accosted me and refused to leave my room when I ask her to leave. The chief nurse was in the room and saw exactly what happened.  They falsified the records anyway.  Norma was my witness other than her spilling water on me, nothing unusual happened.  And I told her not to worry.  When I say nothing unusual, I mean other than the social worker demanding I answer all her questions concerning the malpractice accusations I lodged against Solara. 

My entire 12 hours at Solara was just bizarre.  To defend themselves they kept an employee from wound care to watch me until the ambulance took me back to Valley Baptist.  That was a big mistake because she was very vocal as to me being one of three patients that morning demanding to be released.  

Dr. Gogia will not come to my defense.  Veterans have no right to refute false accusations made by community care providers.  Well, we do, and Dr. Gogia is about to learn veterans have rights.
