I’ve
been
in
VA
healthcare
systems
all
over
the
country,
and
most
recently
in
San
Diego
and
Seattle.
As
soon
as
I
arrived
here,
my
healthcare
has
been
affected
negatively.
My
treatment
plan
that
was
developed
with
a
much
higher
level
of
skilled
physicians
has
been
changed
by
lower
echelons
of
care.
Coming
to
Traverse
City
has
meant
taking
two
giant
steps
backwards
in
my
healthcare
needs
which
are
significant
due
to
toxic
exposure.
Medication‘s
I’ve
been
on
for
15
years
have
been
changed,
discontinued,
and
reduced
by
less
qualified
staff.
As
a
former
healthcare
professional,
I
know
that
my
level
of
care
should
not
suffer
due
to
regional
or
personal
biases
of
any
medication.
My
surgeon
who
is
the
head
of
gastroenterology
of
University
of
Washington,
prescribed
me
anti-nausea
medication
that
basically
has
kept
me
alive
at
times.
Now
a
nurse
practitioner
steps
on
his
prescription
and
prognosis.
It’s
absurd.
Do
yourself
a
favor,
and
except
nothing
less
than
a
doctor.
