MONK "TAKES IT FROM BEHIND" AT THE V.A.

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER

Last Episode, Monk (really our writer, Uncle Gordie) was forced to drive 100 miles to seek treatment at an out of state VA hospital because his nearby clinic had mysteriously given up making appointments for ill veterans.  As we remember, Monk had been on a mysterious case in Egypt when he had been subjected to a particularly nasty local bug, leaving him seriously debilitated and at risk of death or worse.

Monk, after driving up to Michigan and waiting hours for Urgent Care, submitted to a series of tests.  He was informed that treatment would/could only begin after the tests were evaluated in 24 to 48 hours.  Though Mr. Monk was very ill, he accepted this promise and drove back to Ohio, waiting by the phone (or taking it into the bathroom with him, as he spent more time there than anyplace else).

No matter how much Mr. Monk stared at the phone, it never rang.  Friends who saw Episode 5 contacted Mr. Monk, advising him on established treatments for his problem.  The US Army G2 for the Joint Operations Command (Bright Star) in Egypt repeatedly phoned Mr. Monk along with Navy Seals, Army Officers and one utter fool who retired from the Coast Guard.

Mr. Monk had been "burned" by the V.A. before, many times, but like the lovable fool we know he is, he keeps coming back for more, no matter how much damage his already overused "area" would suffer from the unwanted intimate contact the V.A. was certain to subject him to.  (read more……..)

     

Last episode we remember Mr. Monk being subjected to submitting, not only quantities of blood, but other much more unpleasant substances.  Monk was horribly embarassed by the hospital nurses handing him the bizarre implement called "the hat," meant to collect the noxious, unwanted and disease ridden unmentionable material.

Monk, in tonite’s episode, climbs the walls, distressed at the potential of billions and billions of flukes, amoebae, unruly bacteria or mysterious viruses inhabiting his stomach, liver and digestive tract. 

Notwithstanding Monk’s faith in his government and their willingness to rush to the aid of a disabled vet seeking care with the same elan as any other government worker offering "free help" to the deserving and needy, Mr. Monk will seek private health care at his own expense, hoping that the delay waiting for test results and treatments that may only come to him in the afterlife, will not prove fatal after all.

Next week Mr.Monk will be working for his friend, who served as an Army Captain in Vietnam, whose V.A. filings seem to repeatedly disappear even when faxed or sent via certified mail (return receipt requested, thank you very much).

Monk hopes that Trudy, his long dead wife, forgives him for his indisgretions at the VA, though they were hardly concensual.  Mr. Monk, being both a former police officer and VSO (Veterans Service Officer) will try in the future to no longer assume that what has always been broken has somehow been magically fixed.Gordon Duff, Senior Staff Writer for VetransToday.com
