I just never see them do anything that is exploratory or in the searching type mode a doctor should be in...
I've not been treated at a post medical facility since retirement. For strokes and colon cancer, Tricare covered the bills. Underwent two colonoscopy procedures at a nearby gastroenterology clinic, again via Tricare.
An uncle was a WW2 vet. Saved the lives of several of his buddies in battle. He died several years ago. His wife swore VA doctors messed up his meds and killed him.
My wife says it's bigger than I described but, she tends to exaggerate. She gets that from me. 😵
I received a letter many years ago stating that I had to use RACH and if I did not, Tricare will not honor doctors I use unless they were referred by RACH.
Good lord, we're lucky. We live between Fort Hood and San Antonio. VA built a clinic here in ATX around 11-12 years ago. I've never been there because it's easier to visit my primary care provider.
An old family friend of my wife that also happens to be an old boyfriend of hers is in town. They're going out for lunch tomorrow. That's cool by me. They asked me to join but NO THANKS. Besides, the PI is costing me a fortune.
Seriously. I trust my wife.
Seriously. I trust my wife.
I have been pretty healthy as far as I know so far and will get full workovers when I get a family care doctor outside of just PA's using medicare. I have not been sick in over 2 almost 3 years. It will be 3 years in November. I have also never been tested for covid yet so hopefully I won't have to be. By the time I hit 65 I am hoping that most of this nonsense is over and I can use the doctor of my choice and not worry about one who requires me to be vaccinated.
Duke Energy sux. Twice tonight power popped off/on screwing up all our gear. No weather issues around.
FWIW, I believe PR med school(s?) have to meet US standards.
Spoke too soon. Now 3X.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and partly cloudy. Steamy. Looking at 100°F for today's high. We hit triple digits yesterday for only the 6th time this year so far. According to long-range weather forecasts just now, we may experience high temps above 100°F until middle next week. Ugh!
No open ICU beds available in central Texas. I wonder how this little detail might impact our return to work scheduled for Friday, October 1st?
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and foggy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 77°.
Everyone stay safe on this Thursday.
Everyone stay safe on this Thursday.
Many folks are unaware, but Kentucky's Old Frankfort Pike predates the American Revolution. Love those stone walls.
I didn't consciously know that, but it makes sense. A lot of indentured (slave) irishmen make those walls? My people (one of many peoples) could make some good ones, even if today's texters are taking fences out ALL OVER THE STATE. Have y'all noticed that?
I've never seen this much carnage outside of a Kentucky ice storm, until this past year or so
Good morning, D-L!
Had to make breakfast for the clan before I could post... Hope it's a great day for everyone and that all of our posters get and stay healthy and happy (happy as we can be with the country in the straights it's in) through this football season!
An old UK football poster from way back posted on Facebook that the Day of Judgment is next Wednesday evening. ... (biblical holy day) How many of y'all are considerin' watchin to see what happens to DC on all channels? We're going to pop some corn and keep an ear out

Morning all. Air has a tinge of Fall in it. It's a cool mid 50s out now heading up to mid/upper 70s. No humidity.
A little early for Fall type weather, but the front(s) cleared out the heat and humidity. Wish it was like this year round.
Little more putting up and cleaning up to do. May mow some grass for the first time in 2/3 weeks. Decide when I get to it.
Y'all have a good day.

Good morning D-League.
Our weather is wet. Wet wet. It rained most of yesterday and is raining heavy at this moment. In spite of the rain my lawn man showed up and mowed, edged and blew the area clean. I was amazed. I gave him a nice bonus for his good work.
It is currently 73° and raining and this afternoon we will have a high of 82°. We can always use the rain around here.
Well the Taliban is now one of our allies and a friend so I suppose we will soon start giving them foreign aid. We might even consider sending them some more weapons. Free of course since they have no money. This world is turned upside down which has left me hanging in midair.
I trust all have a good day

I imagine it depends on the part of the country you live. I have heard the horror stories, Arizona being the one that comes to mind. When President Trump was in office he made the VA a priority and I understand it improved overall. We have a huge amount of retired military around here including a lot of generals and admirals. All of the Vets I talked to swear by the VA Hospitals and say they have state of the art treatment and excellent doctors and nurses.
We have two VA hospitals very close to where I live, one in Gainesville and the other in Pinellas county. The one in Gainesville serves South Georgia and North Florida and is located next to The University of Florida Health System (Shands) It is also a teaching hospital with 5,800 medical professionals Bay Pines is in Pinellas County and it has an excellent reputation. A lot of ex military brass make sure it is first class. A former congressman, Bill Young was one of the biggest advocates for Veterans in congress and he made sure it was the best it could be. After he died they named it for him. William T Young . I do not use the VA but I would not hesitate and would have full confidence I was being treated by excellent medical providers. Referring to the local hospitals.
Now I am not sure about other areas but I imagine it depends on location. One of my brother in laws lives in Estill County , KY and he insists on going to the Veterans Hospital in Lexington. He let me know one time they saved his life so I best not say anything bad about them.

50s here, too, and foggy. Sun is baking it off quick. Creek's full and the beans are nearly ready
Make sure you find either a Nurse Practitioner or a Naturaopathic Physician to help. The PAs and docs are about numbers from my experience. Unless you happen to find someone young and really wanting to help people, they might keep giving you the same "prescription"
This old boy sure can sing and does a nice job of fishing too.
I've heard good things about the VA here and in Madison WI. Can you get treatment while you are traveling and maybe "happen" to have need of it then?
I'm sure it will make her love you even more after spending a lunch with her ex. Any time I run into one of mine it makes me appreciate my wife so much more.
That's not just a VA problem.
Forget when it happened, but bout 15 years ago they made some more changes to the way they keep statistics. At least that's when I learned about it. May have happened well before that. The stats they quoted on tv throughout the late 80s and 90s blaming tobacco, street drugs, guns, cancer, and alcohol for deaths were being overtaken by a strong category if its own- medical deaths.
The data got close to overtaking one of the big players, so they divided the category into 2 parts. Still kept rising so they divided it again, rinse, repeat.... You get the idea. Now there are many categories for what should all come under medical deaths.

My son is an RN in the Gainesville VA hospital. Works in the GI area... Has to do his residency to become a Nurse Practitioner. (Whatever the correct terms for his clinical requirements.)
I still see the VA attending to current ailments versus the longevity factor of treatments.
This is the picture Cordmaker sent me yesterday morning and I did not see it. Sorry Cord.

I have much success with two different products.....one is called Skincell. It has made some pretty big moles dissapear on me.......I had one on my collar line also........after 11 weeks its is all but gone.... The other product which I highly recommend is ENDtag by Hempvanna. I had a skin tag growing on my eye lid......almost on the edge......it got so big that it was pulling my eye lid down...........I used the ENDtag and the damn thing is gone.......it took about 8 weeks longer than they advertised.............I have a personal aversion to doctors........don't trust them any further than I could pick them up and toss them.......
Most data repositories now don't even lost medical related deaths in their stats. Went to do a simple search and all of the data that pops up hasn't got but a casual reference to the topic. Went to a different search engine and I got one quick link.
In 2016 medical error ALONE was the 3rd leading cause of death in this country. It's not even listed on any official gov data for download I found in my first search.
That doesn't include the following categories that appeared since the 90s. -
1. medical malpractice
2. Infections acquired during hospital stay
3. Post surgical or other procedural complications
4. Prescription drug deaths
5. Vaccines adverse event deaths
These are combined into other categories or not listed at all as a cause of death on many sites. When they are all combined they are THE #1 cause of death in this country.
From 1990-1992 mortality due to disease DECREASED. Across 15 disease categories. The medical deaths however kept the pace of total deaths from dropping. It's no coincidence that the reversal in death rates due to disease started about then as the types of dangerous food and drug products that the ffda previously had been banning were reinstated or approved at that time.
Aspartame for example, after previously failing to be approved, was fast-tracked before the gulf war because of political pressure and lobbying. Dyes that were known carcinogens were slowly allowed back into the food supply. Cigarettes got warning labels and were demonized, but not banned, and trade deals leading manufacturers to seek to move operations to other countries. Glyphosate...

ONJ could have sang a song about mustard colored baby poop and I still would have been head over heels watching and listening to her singing it.
It is a sunny 65.5°F here. That is good. My landscaper started doing the mulch yesterday afternoon and hopefully will finish up today. They are also trimming my bald cypress tree that is taking over. I have been trying to get this done since early May. I hopefully got a good group to do it from now on. They have a bunch of good equipment.
Check that growth out Warrior Cat. Spend some of your own money if necessary. (Your wife paid me to type that! )

No tinge here just cringe because still high 90's to 100° here for the next few days or more.
This old boy sure can sing and does a nice job of fishing too.
Same here. Triple digits until at least middle next week.
Hempvanna almost sounds like a lawnmower for Cheech and Chong. (use Cheech's voice for the next line) Wow man you can smoke this and remove all unwanted hairs and skin tags. I wonder if it comes with a collector bag.

Yeah, she probably did, when I broke my hand (2 bones snapped in two) I was still in the Army and they put me in a splint and left me that way for 7 days because they were booked up in surgeries. They could have referred me out but did not. Was not with my wife (single at the time) and she said that she would have marched me downtown to one of the 2 hospitals we have here and got it fixed had we been together at that time. Bad thing was it was my right hand and I drove a standard shift Ranger at the time so, I would have to quickly take my hand off of the wheel, shift to the next gear and quickly regrip the wheel. Dressing for that week was pain in the ass too not the mention the hand.It is a sunny 65.5°F here. That is good.

The sun is out and the skies are clear. The pool looks inviting.
Thanks Bert, I just wanted the D to see the deck I built, Mrs. M is proud of it, but she really like the way I built the steps!! The stained-glass is a panel I made so people could see what different pieces of glass looks like. Over there on the left side, the deck is level, it's just the ground has a dip in it!!!
