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!
