What is your experience with dealing with VA Hospitals? Perhaps i'm unique but my hospital visits are great! The worst part is my commute, thats where the stress and anxiety come out.

My team is great. I've never had a bad experience at the VA with medical professionals. Yeah the system can be janky, but what medical care isn't?

Loved the SLC VA. Now that I have moved, the Houston VA is a huge disappointment in comparison.

I love my hospital as well it’s usually a smooth visit

Part of the reason I aimed at working for the VA was my experience seeing how the VA treated my father in law in his final days. So much respect, care and dignity!

Question: How do you get your heart rate down?

Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
