They requested a follow up letter from me to go into his file. He was reassigned to another doctor that they said I would be pleased with. He saw Dad annually for the next 18 years and they actually became chums. Have a good day.

Hey spine95, I wasn't meaning to imply you weren't taking good care of your Dad, nor that you were unaware of the right things to do. I am really glad, your Dad got properly taken care of thanks to a caring and loving son.
I really was trying to offer support and helpful info. I do have a working knowledge of the VA Hosp, and for a long time had a negitive feeling toward them. Now I really feel they are trying to clean up their act, but when I hear of a Vet such as your Dad being mistreated I also get hot under the collar.
Thanks for being a good Son
God Bless You!
