Hoping to get some help or clarification here, if possible? I have had several Endoscopy's (EGD) by both the US DVA (Gulf Coast VA/ VISN-16) and a very prominent clinic in Minnesota right down street from where was "guest" US Government, once again thanks to Gulf Coast VA/VISN-16! I had a "civilian" EGD done recently, and it was discovered that I had a "Mild Schatzki Ring Associated w/ Small Sliding Hernia" (see attached file)!
So several questions here: First what does this in fact mean in "plain english<" as took me "abnormally long" time to get records and was half out of due to anesthesia when Dr. spoke with me? Second, how could US DVA and orther clinic have possibly missed all this? Third, or could this have arisen because the uS DVA allowed me walk around pneumonia appx. 2-years, and could do very little physically as a result?
Thanks, any "knowledgeable" input would be much appreciated as sent US DVA- Primary Care Doctor (formally of Bureau Indian Afffair's) and asked the OEF/OIF Rep. same questions above, but truly expect no answers the US DVA venue or if so "highly" questionable answers.........
