1Since March of 2015, the VA still doesn't even have my symptoms in the VA medical record.—VAExpose.comHere's one clear proof of VA failure. I have been endlessly fighting for healthcare since March of 2015, yet the Phoenix VA has not even entered my symptoms into my medical record. I'm in a wheelchair and slowly getting worse for seven years, but I can't get the Phoenix VA to put the symptoms in my record. Through massive ammounts of begging, the VA has failed even the most basic first step of healthcare.
VAExpose.com is the result of a recent denial of healthcare by the Phoenix VA. It was the last straw.
No more begging, I am now DEMANDING healthcare.2The VA CAUSED the amputation of my left foot!—Wheelchair WendyIt took three years of yelling at the VA doctors, just to get a diagnosis. It was too late. My left foot had to be amputated and now I'm in a wheelchair for life. My right foot and leg are useless. It's their fault. They watched me get worse and did nothing for me. I'm going to court and I'm going to make those bad doctors pay!

I FUCKED UP! I went to the VA emergency room. I was drowning in blood. I was coughing and snorting blood all over the floor. The people at the window just kept telling me to sit down and wait, until the janitor went in the back and complained to somebody that I was bleeding all over his lobby! Never go to the VA emergency room! They will let you die while they sit drinking coffee and eating pastries.

Even after I got lawyers it still took six more years. In the end, I got about half of what the VA cost me. I'm lucky to still be alive.

We spent hours calling veterans to cancel appointments and gave lies about the reason. The reason we were given was obviously a lie. It was only because the appointments were over the time limit.

I didn't put up with their BS. I laid down in the driveway, flat on my back spread eagle. It worked when cars and busses were backed up through the parking lot. Last time I said I was going to shoot myself in the head. That got action too, but first they kept me for 5 hours talking to a shrink.

Today was the day, but while we were waiting in the clinic lobby they canceled the appointment and rescheduled for another month and a half away.
