09-12-22 - Dr Clark - First Appointment Most of this entry is being witheld from the web page until there is nothing left to lose by making it public. Requests for the information will be granted if it serves my needs more than keeping it private. Email me. It doesn't hurt to ask. I was brutal with him in an attempt to get his attention. I clearly told him that I don't believe he's anything but another VA petty bureaucrat. To get my trust he will have to prove to me that he's a doctor. I said it several times without his acknowledgement. He finally asked for the metric which would determine if he was being a doctor or a bureaucrat. I told him it would be his words in my medical record. If he lies or puts inappropriate garbage in my record, he's not a doctor, just a VA petty bureaucrat. Three days from now his entry will be avialable online. I'll add his entry to this journal. Please! Show that you're a doctor... I need an actual doctor. The majority of this entry has been removed, as explained above. It is the addendum resulting from Dr Clark's entry in my medical record. 10-17-22 - Dr Clark - Wheelchair Appointment A CORRECTLY written wheelchair consult was my only goal for this appointment. It should have taken five minutes. Charles Clark mostly resisted. He wasted most of the appointment. He didn't even know the correct terminology, confusing power scooter with power wheelchair. I thought it was a lost battle. To get his attention I tried to demonstrate the extent of what he doesn't know, and the extent of my understanding of the process. I quickly recited a few facts about the VA's definitions of WMD, and tried to joke that WMD is not "Weapons of Mass Destruction." I showed him a PDF file on my laptop of VHA DIRECTIVE 1173.06, "WHEELED MOBILITY DEVICES." I think this woke him up, got his attention, opened his eyes... because he became more cooperative than not, resembling a doctor in some ways. In the end he gave me hope that he can be trained to simulate a doctor... at least within the upside down Bizzarroland Universe of the Phantasmagorical Phoenix VA... By almost listening to the patient (for a short time) he showed SOME concern for doing the job of a doctor, albeit with far too much initial resistance. The majority of this entry is redacted from this web page. Email to request it. 11-30-22 - Dr Clark - Third Appointment Details will be revealed when VAExpose.com goes public. When all is ready, the complete site will be heavily publicized.
