You're not going to take those are you? I mean I know you need them, and it'll be double or more the hassle getting them replaced than provided in the first place, but dang I'd be worried they'd been tampered with or even filled with the wrong product in the bottle.

And were they mailed or couriered to you? Might not be the VA screwing you (this time) but (not so wild conjecture) your carrier looking for a cheap (free) high and when they found it was nothing good (to them) they just dumped it all back in the mailing bag. Or even replaced it with some counterfeit pills.

Anyway, that sucks (understatement of the year) no matter how you slice it, you have my sympathies for getting a raw deal in honour of your service.

no i'm not taking them. we took them back to the Pharmacy at the VA (2 hour drive) and gave them back to the clerk who did the normal " I'm SOOOO sorry" BS

came straight from the VA's pharmacy

Nice to see we're still treating our veterans with the best health care these United States have to offer! Ha . . . That's ridiculous and unacceptable

I thought that guy looked like you! But that's a really awesome program that you're a part of, I'm glad it's around. We need more programs like that that provide things for you veterans without gauging your bank accounts, but letting donations finance it and not the gov't. Great way to give back and know that the money is actually going towards something. Most people only think about the main things for you guys, and overlook things like these service dogs that make a world of difference

Not to stick up for the VA for the lousy treatment most Vets receive, but, I've had scripts from pharms other then the VA pharm shipped by mail and the same thing has happened.

More than likely it's the rough treatment from the USPS, at least that's what I always thunk.

I know personally that the people who are deciding who receives benefits, for how long, and the extent of the Vet's disability is decided by persons that have absolutely no professional training in medicine.

Now, that's sad.......

Also, the treatment of our Vets by the VA is onehellova recruiting tool, don't you agree??

After all, there is only a 4 year backlog and Congress finds that acceptable.
