Thanks.

Because it is an emergency they rushed the appointment through and it has only taken 6 weeks to get in. Next Tuesday is the day!

he doctor that did the surgery was in training

That's one of the most complicated and scary things about training doctors. You can only do so much with animals, at some point you have to be trained on human beings under the supervision (no pun intended) of a trained doctor.

I would assume that there was no supervision?

There was a supervising doctor but when she put in the first stint he told her that it needed to be removed and she wasn't able so she put another in.

A lot of the doctors at the VA are young and recent grads getting experience.
Think about it, not all doctors graduate at the top of their class. What happens to the ones that are graduate at the bottom?

Not only with doctors...
I would not go into a building where some of my pals in college had to do with the electric installation or machines used into it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Three avionics engineers from different companies are taking a flight together. Before takeoff, the pilot comes up to the first, and whispers that the avionics in the plane were produced by his company. The engineer gets up, and hurries off the plane. The pilot whispers the same to the second engineer, with the same result. The pilot goes on to the third engineer, who just sits there.

The pilot asks the engineer if he is that confident in his company's avionics, to which the engineer answers "I am confident that with my company's avionics, this plane won't ever get off the ground!"

I can think of multiple reasons why I would never respond to such an e-mail.

In Israel, one must go physically to the appropriate office (bank branch, government office, whatever), show ID etc., and then you will get two letters by snail-mail giving you the account ID and the initial password for your account. The idea is that no single communication contains all of the data required to break your account.

Much slower, but much more secure. Sometimes low-tech is the best way.

Well, the email was from a legit source that I could verify.
All's well that ends well. The next day, I could log in and request a prescription refill.
The VA, and their health care, has been very good to me.
