Hop,
Do you really see this as a doable situation, as a current patient ? I stayed away from the VA for better then 58 years as treatment was soo bad during that time (Korea vet, enlisted just after WW2), I find the current treatment programs outstanding, my Family Dr overlooked skin cancer for over three years for me, VA keeps checking every three months, granted, I believe the 30 min rule is good, IF we can find QUALIFIED Drs in the program ,
BTW, the first certifiable fire was the Kansas City Records center, and a thin line of vets were subjected. I would much rather go see a cancer doctor in paris at the hospital than drive to dallas and fight the bs involved there, no problem with the dallas va but getting there and parked etc. is a total butt whoopin. I can't drive in Dallas and it's over 65 miles to get there. Tyler is over 40 miles. I hear all this good stuff about the VA, but I haven't seen Jack.

They didn't have my records. Fortunately I copied everything on my way out and was able to just hand them a copy of all of it. Now my copies show up in their system as the originals.
