We have filed a congressional investigation, 3 White House complaints, I’ve been sending emails all over the VA and managed to get the attention of VISN. We have spoken to the director and deputy chief of staff. They have acknowledged that he has not been treated appropriately but they are just giving us excuses and apologies. They are still dragging their heels on actually doing anything. So I’ve also complained to OIG and Joint Commission. In my opinion this should be investigated as a sentinel event and gross negligence. Unfortunately at this point I don’t feel comfortable trusting them with his care even if they finally do see him. That is why I am trying to find someone to at least review his imaging reports for a second opinion.

I apologize I did not read carefully your prior posts. You have done exactly what needs to be done in this, in fact, Sentinel Event. I wouldn't feel comfortable either with seeking continued care at that particular VA. Inn doing research for my own issues I did come across a program that I believe John Hopkins offers for 2nd opinions. (I will double check that it is JH). There, of course, is a fee attached, as I recall of $1500 for Tele-medicine 2nd opinion clinic review. I don't know whether insurance would cover the cost. At least, with a 2nd opinion, you would know how to proceed with medical care. I am very impressed with the process that you have gone through. Not many would know how to do that!
