VA–NO LIVER BX = NO HEP DAMAGE


VA’s VHA, the medical arm, is always learning new tricks from their big brother, the VBA. If you don’t know something and make no effort to find out about it, then it doesn’t exist. It’s plausible, but not confirmed. Likewise, if you do a liver biopsy on a Vet, you can ascertain the level of damage and based on that, the etiology of when it was contracted. On the other hand, if you choose not to investigate, you can say with some certainty that there is no evidence to prove the contention.

Which  leads us to this amazing revelation.

    I requested, and was denied, surprise, that a new liver biopsy be performed to detect the amount of damage. The last biopsy was done at a civilian hospital in 1999 and it showed cirrhosis at that time. I guess it will take intervention from my Senator or Congessman to get the test done. I find myself asking why more and more. Why can’t the VA just use the logic of Larry the Cable Guy and Git er dun?

      Do you have any idea how many VHA guys it takes to do this? How selfish. They know you have the bug.You know you have the bug. What more do you want? Lime in your Cerveza?
