Phoenix, AZ VA medical facility
Now that I've been in Sun City, Az for about 1.5 months, I now four specialist appointments for this month of July, I'm awaiting scheduling for two or three more specialists AND I just returned home from a four day "emergency" stay at the (downtown Phoenix) main hospital --- I had a somewhat medium case of Pneumonia which can be deadly for a COPD case like me.

I arrived at the emergency center at about 7:00 PM last Saturday (Dotty's daughter drove me there) and was assigned an emergency room bed within 5-minutes with an abundance of pretty nurses who were cooing and touching me almost everywhere --- Typical of the VA Martinsburg, WV Medical facility  
After leaving the emergency room, I was assigned to the BLUE Medical team which is a bank of four medical doctors w/extensive staff with who I had the pleasure of extensively arguing science matters with (also typical of the VA Martinsburg facility). They were, indeed, notably more knowledgeable of medicine than I was, but I learned a lot and was able to get a few punches in.

I am now fully convinced that the VA Medical System ranks high --- if not first among the world's finest medical systems.

And it was, of course: All free, as in fully paid for by my country; The United States of America.
The VA Medical System is a 100% single pay approach to medical care --- The only one in USA other than the military (Hm-mm?).

That is what medical care should be like! And when it is, it pays for itself by reducing the number of downstream complications and return visits.

I'm glad you're being treated properly.
