I am very lucky. My PCP in the VA Healthcare spends time with me every appointment. She discusses everything going on in detail, she then spends time listening to me. It's almost like she cares. That was a joke, she really does care, and the VA makes sure she has the time to spend with each of us. Like I said, I am very lucky.
