Went to the VA today!
I hadn't seen my therapist for a while, she had a knee replacement. I just Love this woman she is so kind and has helped me through some tough times. She is in a new bldg., with a huge waiting room. I had never been in this bldg before. I was very impressed. There was a huge flat screen, Fox news was on, I have never watched Fox. After 1 min. I could not take it.I could not find the remote, I changed manually to sports center.
I was the only one there. The office lady lady came in and asked if changed the channel. I said I am the only one here, so it must have been me! She told me I was not to touch the TV, she put fox back on an said I was listening to it. I changed the channel back. And told her I was there for my PTSD appt. And don't touch the TV. She left. I will do it again!

4. Good for you! Stick to your guns and then file a complaint
and tell them you'd at least prefer a less rabidly partisan channel.\

Office lady is a pig and she needs to concentrate on her job instead of policing the propaganda.

7. You should report the office lady for that.
The TV is not there for her and they shouldn't ever have Fox on there anyway. No room among all the vets for polarizing hateful political propaganda.
