I wanted to get some input from those on staff at VA's (present and former). I've about reached the end of my tolerance for the BS in PP. The empty promises, the complete servitude, and the absence of making any medical decisions that truly steer patient care based upon my clinical impression (unless it seemlessly coordinates with the surgeon's preset expectations). What is the culture at the VA, and has the recent publicity effected that? I feel that PP simply is a matter of getting jerked around and taking it in exchange for a relatively healthy paycheck. Unfortunately, I have a little too much silverback in me to see that as a viable long term option. Perhaps at the VA I could balance operative anesthesia (including cardiac), acute pain, and maybe even a touch of chronic pain? I'm just grasping here. Thoughts?
