Hopefully, they will get it right next time.

I was having coffee this morning with the normal crew.

One of the guys had surgery at the VA last year on his shoulder. He was telling us about how he has to go back to have it done over again.

He tried to explain to us what the problem was but he wasn’t sure himself. All he knew was he was in constant pain.

His parting remark was, “Hopefully, they will get it right next time.”

I thought … What a great commentary on government provided services.

I like your web site. Keen insight… good stuff. I’m just becoming aware of local politics, and it’s kind of a brutal eye-opener!

Take a look at this week’s obituaries in the Rice Lake Chronotype. Some folks aren’t coming home from their surgeries at our local hospitals. At least this guy came home from his first surgery. I know many veterans who feel well served by the VA and are here to sing their praises. I can also tell you horror stories about the joint replacement mills our hospitals have become in the name of profit.

You should consider going to some place like India for surgeries. Quality of health care in privately held hospitals is FAR superior than the health care here in America. As an added plus, you get a nice wellness OR ayurvedic OR tour of any place in India. Contact me at samir.r.shah@gmail.com to learn more.

India? No thanks. Not even the tour.
