While moving a weight rack, I dropped three 10 pound weights on my toe. I called my local clinic in Clarksville, TN so I could I could speak to a nurse. She told me that the Nashville VA Healthcare System does not allow you to go to an outside medical facility unless it is a life threatening emergency. So, I have to drive an hour and a half to the Nashville VA Hospital with a broken toe. I move around a lot and just recently moved to the area. I never thought I'd experience a VA Healthcare region that cares so little for it's veterans. I can't help but wonder where what their doing with the funding. I guess I was spoiled by the Biloxi, MS VA region, the Tuscaloosa, AL healthcare region, and the Pittsburgh Healthcare region.
