2/5 ab h. 3 years ago on Google
I
created
a
whole
new
Gmail
account
so
I
could
leave
this
review.
Obviously,
I
don't
want
anyone
who
works
at
the
Cape
Coral
VA
to
know
who
I
am.
Anyway,
here
is
why
I
am
leaving
two
stars:
Let
me
start
off
by
saying
that
the
Cape
Coral
VA
is
a
million
times
better
than
the
VA
in
Minneapolis.
I
have
suffered
from
chronic
pain,
severe
depression,
suicidal
ideation,
and
insomnia.
These
issues
have
made
it
impossible
for
me
to
maintain
a
normal
life,
or
work
life
for
that
matter.
I
have
had
most
of
these
issues
for
almost
a
decade
now
(somehow
I
haven't
killed
myself
yet),
and
the
VA's
best
suggestion
is
to
take
opioids
and
anti-depressants
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
The
problem
that
I
have
with
the
Cape
Coral
VA,
specifically,
is
their
physical
therapy
department.
It
was
my
first
time
seeing
them
and
I
was
so
excited
to
maybe
finally
get
some
help,
some
relief.
Here's
how
that
went....
I
was
rushed
throughout
my
whole
time
in
there,
I
was
shown
a
couple
stretches
I
already
knew
about,
and
then
they
had
me
lay
on
a
bed
in
the
corner
with
a
heat
pad
on
my
back
for
25
minutes,
and
the
pad
wasn't
even
hot!
The
worst
part
though,
is
that
a
curtain
was
drawn
around
me
and
the
pad
wouldn't
stay
balanced
on
my
back,
so
I
spent
the
whole
time
trying
to
get
it
to
stay.
That
whole
time
the
PT
staff
was
joking
and
giggling
in
their
office!
I
just
wanted
some
real
help.
And
if
they
couldn't
offer
me
that,
I
would've
much
rather
just
been
told
that
straight,
rather
than
having
my
time
wasted
AGAIN.
I
don't
think
the
VA,
as
a
whole,
can
help
people
with
the
problems
that
I
have.
If
they
did
have
that
capability,
I
would
be
okay
by
now
(10
years
later).
If
I
could
work,
I
would,
and
I
would
save
up
enough
money
to
afford
a
real
doctor
in
the
private
sector.
