My VA hospital is about 65 miles away. The local hospital is only 12 miles away but they
don't have a clue about dealing with Vets. No thanks.
The VA just repaired a cataract Monday and I had a follow up at 8 AM the next morning.
Rather than make me drive to/ from home they booked me into a nice hotel a few blocks from
the hospital. What civilian hospital would do that?
