Sorry to have yet another prayer request so soon, but here goes: Sadly, my problems with "medical professionals" at VA are not over. I'm to the point of issuing a formal complaint against one of the providers, which I did NOT want to do. Gave every benefit of every doubt to the person. And now this: I joined their support group via the internet that I think would have been perfect for me and very helpful. Instead the facilitators are actually being abusive and rude. I am NOT trying to bring politics into this, but that's the problem: Instead of following their own rules, that is, not to discuss politics, these people are bringing their own far Left politics into everything. To start with, the facilitators all have gender pronouns put up, which I find to be OFFENSIVE but was willing to overlook. But it doesn't end there: I made this joking comment that men don't dust, and the facilitator got mad at me for "gender stereotyping." Then when after weeks of saying nothing I complained about my jaw, stating that even when it doesn't hurt, the constant movement and clicking reminds me of "Chinese water torture," the other facilitator cut me off. Very nastily this individual snipped at me and said, "Don't say, 'Chinese water torture." After that this person segueyed into an actual partisan political speech that I also found to be very offensive. My heart is broken. I really could have gotten great benefit from this group if they ran it correctly. Again -- I am not the one who broke the rules. They break their own rules all the time. I went to these people for help and all they did was cut me off, pick on me and treat me differently than the others. I think there are many wonderful doctors out there. The surgeons who worked on my hand, I can't say enough good things about. But today there are some very rude, immoral and unethical health care workers out there. I just am dreading having to tell them that I quit their group, which is what I've made up my mind to do tomorrow. Also as I already said, I am very disappointed. All they had to do was just follow their own rules and not treat me like garbage. Please pray for me in Jesus' name, that my quitting goes smoothly and that I'm doing the right thing. Amen.
