Probably, but only IF D and A get connected to the local clinic AND express their willingness to receive the services. They might have some screws loose, but they are in charge of their own affairs.

 

D thinks he can get all the medical care he needs through the VA. Nearest VA clinic is an hour away and provides limited services. There is a full service VA hospital with excellent resources 110 miles away. That setup would work okay IF they had reliable transportation AND the mental wherewithal to travel that far on a regular basis AND the ability to understand their own medical needs to some degree.

 

I think I have convinced them that they need a local PCP to help them figure out their care and get some assistance in finding the most cost effective ways of getting the care.

 

Oh, and did I mention that D needs a hip replacement? He just sprung that one on me. FMR.
