Is it me or can the Veterans Administration not hire doctors that aren't Paki or Indian? Damn Mini- rant over, but can't stand the SOB's. |

I also had to wait several months for a dental cleaning appointment and they cancelled it a week out because the one provider left. After that experience, I gave up on the VA and went back to just using my health insurance. |
