VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System

OMG contrary to what’s been said about care and an ability to be seen. I’ve never experience a wait within reason. (Week or so MAX!!!)
They take their woman’s health care very seriously and are always probing me for ways to improve it.
When push came to shove they sent me a outpatient care card.
NEVER had to use it!!!
My primary care doctor returns my calls insensibly (or nurse) even when I’m tied 8 hours to work. They don’t stop till I return their call. They take my ailments with upmost concern.
They strive to get me seen ASAP and if they can’t, the emergency room open 24 hours has been able to accommodate my needs long enough till there is an opening with physician.
I might consider myself lucky living soo close to one of the biggest VA hospitals in the vicinity.
I’ve heard people having to drive hours just to get to the University Drive VA. Yes I count my blessings!!! And I FEEL for you that have experienced less than adequate care!!!
My heart goes out to those vets that have served and felt their pain. I’ve heard some of the most heart felt and heroin stories of veterans experiences while waiting.
Hear they’re working on making it a better system for all and place seems calm lately as it seems words gotten out about inconsistencies in care.
Heart felt blessing and best wishes to all us Vets that have put our life on the line for our country and keep it safe for everyone!
Thanks for your service!!!
