He isn't the only one who has had hardships and heartache in their life so spare me the tears.
It has been pointed out by myself and others that the VA needs of intercede in the problem with the doctor. Again ignorance on your part for not getting the vet to the VA counselors to rectify the situation. I would think some who has taught 1,000 MBA students in Leadership and Strategy would been able to figure that one out.
Your "accomplishments" in your life you brag about apparently impresses you but I find it quite arrogant and condescending.
There are too many holes in this vet's story for me to give him any credence.
Did you read the posts about prescribing opioids? The government has cracked down quite hard on what strength levels can be prescribed and a patient can only obtain 30 days worth at a time. Hence the required visit to the doctor for a new prescription, not that the doctor is trying to fleece the government and patient for personal financial gain. Did you actually talk to the pharmacy to see if this claim that the doctor wasn't providing a form that could save the patient money or is it what he is saying?

Your message says it all. He is a 100% disabled vet - why would you doubt him - or me? We both know why. You ASS U ME lots of things - and assumptions can describe you. Yes - there were lots of helpful comments. I now know more about what the VA can do; that was my intent of the original post. Yes - I read opinions on opiods. They are opinions; helpful, but not all opinions are facts.
I shared my background - to give others the courage to stand up to fake assumptions - with no positive intent - and only to tear down. I'm forever fortunate not to have that trait - and have been able to keep focussed on what's important - trying - and making the world a better place because I am here.
I will pray for you. I honestly - feel sorry for you. It is so easy to be cynical - but isn't it unfulfilling?
