Valentinesstuff Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I forgot to update this one. Thanks to Adam at NorthShore, I was able to get the Pharmacist the info she needed. Now as soon as NorthShore sends them to the VA, and the VA sends them to me, I'll be getting some NorthShore diapers every month. At least until March next year, when the VA changes to some new system. On the other hand, my Senator is apparently going to bring this up somewhere, probably the Veterans Affairs Committee. Here's hoping for some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slomo Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 That's good to hear. I've emailed my senator a few times. Hus assistant seems to have dropped my requeat and hasn't done anything beyond an initial requeat to the VA. She got a brush-off from them and apparently hasn't tried again since. Though I was able to find the contact info for a VA inspector general at .1-800-488-8244. For reporting mishandling of information malepractices and lack of care. We had a nice chat about them loosing my service records and the pharmacy dictating what the doctor can and cannot provide to me. So hopefully that will go somewhere.

Um, yeah... OK, I was sent 2 dozen of these. They were sent in a poorly taped closed cardboard box. They were in no packaging. There is no label on the whatever it is. No care instructions included. I have no idea if bleach can be used, if they can be tossed in a dryer, or any laundering instructions. I'm not sure if they are even the right size. I emailed the company that they came from complaining. I sent a message to the pharmacist about the company. I was expecting something more like this https://www.medline.com/ce/product/DMI-Protective-Underwear/Z05-PF299302?sku=MDPMBH6070001923 Crappy plasticish panties.

It's like the VA is purposely trying to f##k with us. They send us something that's barely even servicable for what was requested. So we complain and try to get something beyter. Then they send us something even more useless. But not just send us something to test out, they send us dozens or even hundreds the very first time. It's such a massive waste in materials and cost, it wastes our time, and even tests out patience. Gods, I wish there was a better way to get throug to the VA, and make them understand whate we actually need. Or at least for them to understand when we say thin and cheap doesn't work, thrn please don't send us something else thin or cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, whatever was supposed to be sent was an attempt to provide support for the cheap crap that they had sent me. Shortly after these were ordered, I got a prescription for MegaMax, which I got changed to MegaMax Lite. The really bad thing is that I can't even donate these, because there is no packaging and they are "underwear." If they were at least regular plastic pants, I could use them for extra odor control. Plus they have no or very little working knowledge of adult diapers and accessories. One of my sisters is a nurse and has worked exclusively in nursing homes and she is stuck using cheap diapers because of rules and regulations. Adam at NorthShore was or is trying to change that.
