G. D. VA

I've been trying for months to get treatment for my feet close to home. So I got paperwork in the mail other day sending me almost the same mileage in another direction. This is some of the bullshit about the new program called VETs choice.
I've been out of one of my Glaucoma drops for 3 days. And after a bunch of calls I'm no wiser. I called the telephone advice number today and got someone in Houston, TX. I'm damn sure they knew something about my eye drops in Jackson, MS.

I'm sorry, it sounds like a horrible nightmare

Are your eyedrops supposed to come by mail?

busterb · 05-16-2015, 09:57 PM

Mail, yes.

Lola Bunny · 05-16-2015, 09:59 PM

Which eye drops do you use, Buster? What is it that you're missing?

busterb · 05-16-2015, 10:45 PM

Hi. Little rabbit. I really need, I guess because they said I did. Brimonidine tartrate. I have more of other 2 that I use.
Maybe to clear this up. I called a # for refills and they said was out of date, press 1 for a refill. So days later I called and got the run around. One gal told me they don't check that much, so she would check. Lots of luck with that. No fucking wonder they have screening at VA, for weapons.

How long before you run out are you supposed to ask for more?

busterb · 05-16-2015, 11:15 PM

WAG, but about 10 days. Depends on the assholes in Jackson

xoxoxoBruce · 05-16-2015, 11:19 PM

Looks like you're going to have to push that to make sure you stay stocked. You know that person in Huston probably had as much information about you and your meds on their computer, as anyone in Jackson.

Well I had a nice stock, by gaming them some what. I got the lady that gave me basic eye test to give me some, then the intern for more.
But some act like they're paying.

I suppose if they give you something without paperwork, and you have a bad side effect reaction, their ass is grass. Everything has side effects and sometimes they don't show up until you've been exposed for awhile. The other thing is it's government property and you know as sloppy as the government is, they do like to pull inventory at inopportune times.

You can't really blame them for covering their ass, so your best bet is sucker punch them and run with... ok, limp with, the goods.

Yeah, but, but they probably spoke Spanish and not e-bionic. So I wouldn't have a fucking clue. Sarcasm
