VETERANS PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE POLL #1–12 MONTHS OUT
Welcome to the voting booth. I trust you all to vote once so I don’t have to hang cookies all over it and keep out all you Vets from Chicago that died during the Civil War. I am not interested in why … Continue reading
NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIERS–I HAD NO IDEA
After all these years, I finally found out the real reason why they put those tail hooks on the Navy’s aircraft. Sure, they use it to land sometimes when they’re not paying attention and come in way too fast. I get that. … Continue reading
BVA–SC FOR HCV DUE TO 3.156(C) & JETGUNS
Here’s a daisy. Veterans Attorney Everett L. McKeown did a magnificent job of getting Johnny Vet his SC for Hepatitis. They found old STRs from his first period of enlistment and used them as the fulcrum to get his 2004 claim reopened. … Continue reading

BVA– JETGUN WIN FROM ST. LOUIS
Here’s a wrinkle. DAV reps Johnny Vet for HCV and cirrhosis. Way back in 2003, he told his VA gastrodoc about his concerns of jetguns being the risk factor. Bingo. An antique pseudonexus saves the day in 2011 when the … Continue reading

BVA–SEX, NOT POLYSUBSTANCE ABUSE = HCV

VETERANS DAY– 2015
Hoooo doggies. Veterans Day again. It’s like getting two birthdays for a Vet. For others, it’s a day of recognition well-earned. To me personally, it’s confirmation that what I did was appreciated eventually by America. It sure didn’t appear that … Continue reading

In 2008 a Mayo doc answers: ‘Whatever happened to ‘jet injectors?’
Gregory A. Poland, M.D. (LINK) answered this question with the wimpy “possible” word yet then explains plausibility without using the word. Dear Mayo Clinic, I remember we used to get vaccines and other shots using an air gun, and lots of … Continue reading

CAVC-GAGNE v. McDONALD–JSRRC DUTY TO ASSIST (NOT)
The Court hands down precedential decisions on occasion that baffle and are invariably overturned at the Fed. Circus where saner minds prevail. On occasion, when sane minds are assigned to the panel to decide momentous matters in the first instance, … Continue reading

VA HUNGRY HIPPOS–TOMAH STYLE
It’s the Thorazine-and a lot more. Remember the old Coors commercial? I give VAMC Tomah high marks for wanting to increase their morale. Très expensive but still cheaper than SES moving costs from DC to Philly. All I have is images … Continue reading
