@hnrharrison Is the primary care doctor refusing to see your husband? I don't know what is involved in getting coverage from the VA for medical care, but this doesn't seem right. You may want to be his advocate and make the phone calls and requests for appointments. Sometimes a gal has to step in to organize and schedule for her guy. Ask the questions that he should be asking at his appointments. I have taken on this role for my husband a lot because he would prefer to ignore things and just take a nap. Can you call the VA and ask what you need to do to get a specialist appointment authorized?
