I failed to even question that my inability to be a part of our Military (due to being diagnosed with multiple Sclerosis at age 21) regardless that my father, a Purple Heart Recipient, a member of the Caterpillar Club (as is former President Bush), a Jewish Bombardier in WWII (B-17), shot down at age 21 over Germany, imprisoned in Stalagluft 111, rescued by Gen. GA. Patton and well protected during his missions by the Red Tails also known as the Tuskeegee Airmen & honored by the late Sen. Bill Larkin would not warrant or permit me to seek the advice of a Veteran @ Castle Point VA based on my not being a Vet? To say I am overwhelmed and completely horrified that the advice by a Dr who takes care of Vets could give me back some quality of life but due to my lack of a military career I am denied the most rudimentary request of seeking an answer to a question involving dentistry? Not information that would jeopardize National Security, or someone's pin but to answer a question that would allow me to continue to be a valued contributor to society, end the unnecessary suffering due to incompetence and malpractice and provide me with the dignity I have worked so hard to maintain regardless of my inconvenience. My hero, my dad would never allow anyone to needlessly suffer especially his daughter. Yet our democratic system, our health care and all other alleged disciplines that supposedly are concerned with elder/senior abuse as recently mentioned as being an important aspect of our life by the Senate Majority Leader in Washington is merely words promoted without the support of Lawmakers who can remedy the travesty of justice committed upon us? Elder abuse is not just in a facility? It takes place in drs offices, pharmacies DENTISTS OFFICES and regardless of the laws, Civil rights etc, and the SO called personal injury law firms..it is all about the money. I have a sign hovering g over my head which sadly does not constitute enough revenue to warrant help! I have survived 5 brain surgeries, the m.s. which to me is merely a tool I used to teach with. Then a pain free massive heart attack last year whereby I failed 4 times, was brt back 4 times then placed in a med induced coma. The imp aspect I cdnt call 911 because of the neglig? & now a quest to save me refused? We the people ? I tht it meant something?
