Posted on November 11, 2015 by asknod

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

Posted on November 11, 2015 by asknod

From the Joe Friday/Badge 714 Memorial VARO Every once and a while we see a really good example of VA bending over backwards using a reverse nexus that flies in the face of anything they have ever held before on HCV. … Continue reading →

VETERANS DAY– 2015

Posted on November 10, 2015 by asknod

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 →

CAVC-GAGNE v. McDONALD–JSRRC DUTY TO ASSIST (NOT)

Posted on November 8, 2015 by asknod

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

Posted on November 5, 2015 by asknod

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 →

HEPATITIS GRAPHIC ON SIDE EFFECTS

Posted on November 3, 2015 by asknod

Posted on October 30, 2015 by asknod

There are a finite number of ways you can get Hepatitis C. The common denominator is blood-more specifically some otherbody’s blood in you or on you. Without casting aspersion on those who have it, we have to look at lifestyle, … Continue reading →
