He found out later that day the VA hosp. wanted to operate the next day.
My company, with permission from the VA let me return his wife back home 250 miles.
One time a veteran from out of town was in the hospital and insisted he needed his wheel chair at his home.
The VA sent me 512 miles one way to pick up just his chair OK'd by the VA hospital.

"Some things in life just don't make sense." No shortage of examples for all of us. To drive one thousand and twenty four miles to pick up a wheel chair was nice but unless it was a special wheel chair, it is likely the VA had one to lend him.
The original poster with a medical issue, you often are told you need to wait weeks for your treatment. Many/ most do not think how am I going to get there. We've all been there.
