Cedar,
That liver biopsy thing was me--actually my step-dad.
Yes, my sister did contact the VA representative. No luck whatsoever. They claim there is no record of it ever happening. And the doctor who did the procedure quit with no notice and has taken all her records with her. There is much more wrong with this story than I have written. The VA is scary. Very few people understand how bad it is. Nobody could fathom how badly our vets are treated.
I know it sounds too strange to be true. But it is true.
My son in in the military and has had decent care, but then, he hasn't needed much. Most people I know that are eligible don't use the VA system.
