Dr. Francis did both of my eye surgeries for cataracts at the VA, the first on August 26th and the second on September 23rd. Prescription lens replacements gave me back the sight I had as a young man and I drive now with no glasses. The light grey fog and worsening blurriness is gone and I am grateful.

On follow up visits, the latest just two days ago, I have told Dr. Francis how thankful I am for what she has done for my old eyes. She told me that she was thrilled to be able to make an old Marine's vision better and that she trained long and hard to be an eye specialist/surgeon after receiving her MD degree.

Dr. Francis might be about 30. Both of my eye surgeries were done with the very experienced Dr. Regina attending. She's been an eye surgeon for a long time. The VA hospital at Northport, Long Island is a "teaching hospital" and many young doctors practicing there go on to bigger and better things I suppose.

I was very fortunate to have Drs. Francis and Regina working on my eyes in the OR twice. And yes, the young Dr. Francis wears tight scrubs and has a lovely ass.

Hey, laughs aside, I am just so thankful for the eye care I have received at the VA as an old veteran. And the VA shipped me out to private care for my lung surgery at no cost to me. I caught the top man at NYU/Langone/Winthrop Hospital when my side and back were cut open.

Beyond the bullshit red tape and bureaucratic screwups and cat-plop fuggups and government incompetence I must say that once I got into care from a VA doctor or team of doctors I have been treated very well. No bitches from me for VA care once I did the hurdles.
