I called to get a primary care appointment for my husband with the VA, but since the general area is having H1N1 pop up again (the second time in the area), they are doing the tent screening now...so no appointments if you have any possible respiratory infection. DH had a respiratory infection a while ago and he's just not bouncing back as he should, even though he's over the worst of it, he still is weak, has stomach pain and chills and sweats on occasion. I'm going to have to persuade him to just go in tomorrow for the screening. Then they decide what will be done at that point. Whether he'll go inside for treatment or just be treated out there and sent home. He'll hate that! Too much chance of some doctor he's never seen before that hasn't even glanced at his complicated extensive medical history just giving him a prescription and sending him home. Unfortunately, it's happened before with Urgent Care doctors...being too quick with the prescription pad without knowing his history or doing a single test, then he goes downhill at home and doesn't want to go back.
