I cant thank you enough for these videos. ❤ As a Medical Examiner who was literally just thrown into this job ( after a 2 days orientation) without previous VA experience...I am learning a lot from you more than the company. I feel bad for being so unprepared for this job and no one listens. You should do some videos with tips for us medical examiners as well. Thank you for your service and these wonderful videos ❤

Good luck Veterans on filing your claims...😊

Thank you for watching my friend

Had my 1st gout attack in 2015 when I was skinny from exercising and diet. Woke up one morning and was getting out of bed and fell on the floor because I couldn’t stand up. Look like someone took a 2x4 to my whole foot and beat it really good. Really swollen and beet red. Finally got put on meds in 2019, since then I have only had 1 flare up since then. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
