Yeah my husband had a horrible doctor. He asked for a medication he was taking that even with our insurance cost quite a bit, so he thought of all his medications he'd just ask for the VA to give him that one. Well guess what the doctor told him?
He said "why don't we leave that medication for someone who needs it more than you do."
You can imagine how pissed off my husband was. So he was ok. He called a number of times to get his doctor changed, he got no where. So he would only go for his yearly check up and the doc would say "is there anything you need or want to discuss?" Husband was like "Nope."
It wasn't until Trump was in office that he called to complain again and ask to have his doctor changed. He told the person he called how he was treated and she was upset on his behalf, next thing you know he got a better doctor. He still really only goes for his normal check ups, but at least he can discuss things with this doctor and get things done that he needs.
