Example, I have IED frags in my back that resulted in 3 fused discs and 4 metal rods, pew, pew Murica! My city has four hospitals that have spinal specialists that could do my yearly check up to make sure metal frags that could not be removed due to location and risk of paralysis have not moved.. Anyways the local VA does not have a specialists so I have take two days to drive over a 100 miles to another VA have dye injected and stay at gov't provided Motel 6 (illegals get better hotels/motels than F'ing Vets) to make sure things look ok. Such a dumb pain in the ass.....
