I have never used a VA hospital and never will. I've seen and heard of too much pain and suffering and inept doctors. A buddy in Phoenix, Glen Neyenhuis, had been dosed with Agent Orange in Vietnam while on river boat duty. Glen was barely 60 and complained of leg pain, not to the point he could not get around, just some pain.

In those days, all of us would gather around a large table outside one of our friend's buildings on a commercial lot. Glen went to the VA one day and they administered an epidural steroid injection that afternoon. The next morning, we found him face down on the table with a spilled cup of coffee. He was dead as a doornail. No VA for me.
