I've been battling with the VA since '92.

"ACTIVE DUTY" medical care is an entirely different ball game!
How do you think I know all doctors are pretentious a'holes!
"Overworked and underpaid, I'd be making 5 times as much money as a civilian! This $hit barely pays for my education!"

Trust me, Dom... Doctors only do it for the money and prestige. Even THEY laugh about the "Hippocratic Oath"...

All a doctor does is cross-check your symptoms and lab results with a list of most probable diagnoses, then shoot those results to his office staff to make certain your insurance will cover the treatment. If the insurance provider balks, then the doctor provides another diagnosis for you... so he can still get paid.
