Dr. Dan Potenza is a great person and VA doctor. I fired him last week because I feel that the VA at 275 Chestnut St. Manch. NH is using Dan to build a record that my medical care was not cut off. I am 100% disabled from my tour in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam Conflict. The VA NH medical director Mark Levenston is the man that wrote a letter to the editor praising the care given to Veterans in NH. Mark is also the man that stopped my medical care for political self gain. To stop any ones medical care for any reason is a form of murder. To intentionally stop a service connected disabled Veteran’s medical care because U.S. NH congresswoman Shea-Porter wants to teach this Veteran a lesson is a crime. There is no question that my medical care was stopped for six months. There is no question that my restored medical care is a token jester just so the record demonstrates to the news media care does exist. A VA Dr. McCullom at the VA clinic in Somersworth NH along with Dan care so much that they saw me when it was not permitted. These two are great Dr’s willing to put their job on the line for a Veteran. The VA inspector general for NH told me “suicide would be preferred over my writing any more letters. The Boston Globe in writing sends me an email telling me that my “suicide would be preferred over any more letters”. The VA suicide hotline harasses me every day to get me to commit suicide. All this along with my letters is a part of my medical record, I give the news media my permission to pint my medical records in the News papers. Censoring a Disabled Veterans Murder is wrong.
Dr. Dan cares so much that he called me yesterday just to see if I was ok. I have a head injury so my memory is not that great. I forgot that I fired Dan and McCullom so I agreed to see them at the Somersworth Clinic. My head and body pain has gotten to the point that I sometimes can not do any thing. My flash-back as described just the other day by a 22 year old female bartender “Vietnam baby killer” was murder that I feel no regrets or guilt for committing. Does this make me socially unacceptable. I left the U.S. in 71 for my 31 months overseas tour just after receiving a Traumatic Brain Injury that to this day left me with no memory of life prior to the accident. I was injured twice more during separate combat support missions. I as many Veterans came back to a world that we do not belong. Suicide is an answer but it will not stop the wrongs pushed on Veterans that gave everything for the freedom of a nation that just does not seem to care. People like Dr Potenza and McCullom give veteran’s lives that they touch a ray of hope that this nation is quietly thank full for what we did, wrong or not. Is it not funny how a newspaper will in writing ask me to commit suicide but will not print my response.
