Starting over---Careers

Charles I understand exactly what you are saying. But if you need surgery you should be able to get the help you need. Texas Veterans or any other service organization can help quicker. If you notice I did not say conatact a Senator. As far as I am concerned they both are not worth the time to contact and do not care about Veterans. I have had one person fired at my VA and working on another because both flat out did not care about vets. One an immagrant the other born here and they both should not be working at the VA.

But would you get the surgery at a hospital in Temple or somewhere else? The VA does not keep surgeons on full time staff. So the surgeon will be from a nearby hospital. If you would not go to the local hospital then don't go to the VA for sugery either. The VA's are not conected the way they should be. Each one keeps its own records. So just figure out what hospital you would go to and use the VA next to it.
