Re: um - no.
Date: 2009-11-12 10:13 pm (UTC)The VA system, if it ever provides care - does it without any oversight. Your sites look germaine, but they also appear to be clearinghouses for individual studies, which might or might not be as good as it looks from the summaries.
Me, a veteran? Baby, I'm too old and female to have been seriously considered for such a thing. My older brother taught the first class of women to be allowed into the Coast Guard, and I was 12 at the time. Too close to Vietnam, very much in the midst of Reagan...no, you did not choose to serve if you were 1) female, 2) Californian and 3) had a choice.
That said, I am surrounded by veterans, and have had to find care for them for chronic issues *directly* related to their service. Yes, I've dealt with the VA system in California, and can completely believe that they only get asked 12% of the time for help. Because nobody goes to them for help if they have any other option available to them. It's that nasty, and there's worse across the country.
I'm glad you've gotten what you needed from them. So far, you're singular in my experience.
