THE FARGO VA HOSPITAL IS A NIGHTMARE NOW

After they tried to force me to go to there clinic by only paying me travel to the closest clinic from my home and getting my health care all messed up because all my specialty care is at the Fargo VA and the VA Clinic is for primary care, to replace the non VA clinics we could go to close to home, but they are not primary care clinics, they are aid stations that refer you to the VA Hospital for treatment, with a doctor that goes there once a week to determine if you need treatment and if so they send you to the VA Hospital for treatment. So you have to make a trip just to get permission, before you can be treated at the VA Hospital. The Fargo VA a few years ago started up primary care team clinics, with a system with all the doctors being part of the team, like you could be on a red, or blue, or yellow primary care team and to save time they made all your appointments on the same day if at all possible. We still have the teams, my team is red, but everything they do is waist-full, like, lets say urology, if you need a dilation you go there just so they can see if you need one, and instead of treating you they set up an appointment and you have to wait, sometime quite a while, just to get treated. years ago our family PA treated me the same day. They act like you don't know if you need to be treated and someone that has been treated for that condition for forty years should know if they need treatment. This has got to be costly to the VA. Anyway, after I was sent back to Fargo, I had an appointment with my primary doctor and I got a phone call saying she had left and they would find another doctor for me and set up another appointment. I need a dilatation, because they said they would set it up for me. then a few days ago I got an appointment for cardiology, so I called primary care and got an appointment. Then cornary care canceled my appointment, and I called my red team and canceled my appointment to go with my cardiology appointment and told them what happened, and that I need an appointment with urology the same day. Then I got a call from urology and was told they could see me the same time as cardiology on Nov something. I couldn't believe it. My heart problems are critical and they plan to wait that long, so I was quite upset and the urology nurse treated me like I didn't need the dilatation, so I said set it up, then he said how are you going to wait that long when you said you needed it when you were here the last time. I said, "just like I have been all along. I told them a long time ago, that I had a cyst bath, I used when it got to bad and told them to write it down, and the other things important that I told them, so I wouldn't have to explain it every time I went in there because my memory is so bad. What a mess.
