Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't hate me, msbelle!
Well, at least not yet. I'm sure I'll provoke you soon.
I could totally grow my hair out for my putative wedding. Go in with a big fro.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You would rock that. Not that I see it ever happening.
ETA: Um, the fro. Not the wedding.

OK. so I've sucuumbed to the Bob Woodroof thing. At least half of it is about the VA. And it's just confirming what I've observed, due to my brother and SIL's battles with the VA. VA doctors and nurses at the primary sites? Rock. Do their damndest. I was at Fort Hood when SIL gave birth, and while it was highly ..not routine, but regimental.. those doctors and nurses took it so seriously and professionally. The way they dealt with the woman having a late miscarrige in the waiting room? Made me proud, but sad, to be part of the human race.
Secondary care or less? The beauracracy fucks people up. For life. Seriously, nonjoking,terminally in some cases. It's scream worthy. God, it's infuriating. My brother and SIL are still chasing down their paperwork. And their stuff wasn't life-changing.

VA and military hospitals aren't the same, I don't think. My father has to be there at certain times, and wait a while, but he gets excellent care. Physical and psychiatric. I'm not sure what you mean by primary/secondary, but with him, it's mainentance (knee issues, heart issues, etc.) rather than urgent (e.g., heart attack). And for very little out of pocket. VA also is way ahead of most providers in terms of doctors/nurses having electronic access to full records, etc.
What/where is the Woodruff thing? I'd be very interested to see that.

It was on ABC at 10 Eastern.
When the VA works, it really, really works. However, if your VA center isn't really that big (rural areas, or small VA population) it can get...sparse. Which, yeah, expected, but you'd hope they'd partner well with local resources. Even in Birmingham, a major medical research center, my brother & SIL's records have both been "lost." It's easier for SIL to drive to Ohio where she enlisted than to get service-related treatment than to try to seek it in Alabama. My brother...well, he gets treatment by being a guinea pig. And student health. Still. It's got to be easier.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
NY subways make my head hurt.
In a migraine-y way, or in a frustration way? (I get headaches on the subways, and I've never been able to pinpoint the cause. Maybe I'm allergic to the rat poison.)

Well, hell. A good friend bought a house with her best friend a few years ago. A year ago, he decided he wanted out. For them to sell. They were going about it all methodically and whatnot. He just flipped out and wants gone in 60 days. She doesn't even recognize her friend anymore. It's sad and fucked up.
