Dear Dr. Price,

In response to your letter of March 7, 2014:

  1. I do not understand how answering your questions in person or a priori via written communication changes the truth or falsehood of my answers. Ten years of documented V.A. medication and previous years of private treatment of my narcolepsy indicates that I have a long-standing problems which medical literature says rarely goes away.
  2. Since the last of my medication, I have been living in a hell because I want to work but cannot. Why can I not work? I sleep 8 or more times in a day. I wake up at the keyboard not remembering getting sleepy. There are hours on end in which I get sleepy only to find myself waking up the moment I lie down, or, worse, in a half-awake/half-asleep mental morass of anger. I want to work but the will and energy is not there. At night I do not sleep more than three or four hours before waking up. Trying to sleep again is failure. The old trick of randomly choosing a number between 10,000 and 99,999 and counting backwards does not work.
  3. It now takes me a week to program what took me a day because I don't have the awakeness, alterness or attention-span like I did. I constantly have to say "Where was I" as I search for clues like an Alzheimer patient who recalls the generality but not the specifics. Do you think that's fun? Some days, I don't even try to do anything productive.
  4. There is one unpleasant side to this which I mention in my letter seeking redress from President Obama and Congressional committees.
  5. If you think I am a junky looking for cheap drugs or am selling my drugs to others, look at my re-fill rates. Did I ever use more than four out of the six authorized refills?
  6. What happen to the Hippocrates Oath? By not treating my narcolepsy in the simple act of writing a prescription, you are violating that oath.
  7. Are you going to lecture me on being a good V.A. patient like the ER doctor the last time (130331)I visited in great leg pain?
  8. The medical irony is that I am most alert when I think about how I have been mistreated. Then the surging adrenaline keeps me alert. It is surging right now. But, I will collapse at some point--catalepsy--further buttressing how I am narcoleptic.
  9. Each time I think of how much time I have invested in seeking justice because of a $9/month medication, my blood boils. The V.A. apparently has more money to burn than pads to pen a prescription.

I did nothing wrong but complain. Each complaint led to more mistreatment culminating in no treatment and my being gulagized.

I went ahead and completed my websegment "How the military worsens PTSD" which sheds light on how the V.A. has induced a PTSD in me by forcing upon me an inability to think, sleep or work. Good going, VA!

That you can deny treatment that I have received from the V.A. for almost a decade from two separate V.A. physicians makes me very paranoid of being alone with you or any V.A. staff which I have communicated to your psychiatric service: I have not met you, but based on your treatment of me so far, I do not trust you. When the current legal actions have run their course, I intend to seek a suspension or revocation of your medical license ... if it takes my last penny or minute. I did nothing wrong except complain of mistreatment by V.A. staff, an escalation of mistreatment that now includes your refusing to treat a long-standing medical condition of mine which now is a disabilitating, anger-inducing frustration that prevents me from optimal, productive daily work.

Please do not insult me by thinking I am a physical threat to you. Just the opposite: I think you all have proven you are a physical threat to me prima facea!. Is not withholding needed medication a physical harm to a patient? I not only feel you are a physical threat to my well-being and freedom but I am presently suffering lost well-being and freedom due to your choosing not to treat me.

With sincerity and certainty,

Robert S. Barnett

P.S. My primary problem is not sleeping. It is staying awake during the day so that I am sleepy enough to stay asleep. If I had an anti-narcoleptic medicine I could stay awake during the day to be sleepy at night. Someone has the cart before the horse.

And, I'm still gaining weight which I don't understand, now pushing 250 pounds. Stress-driven binging is an aspect of mental axiety brought on by non-medication of my narcolespy. You all are killing me.

You are mentioned in my write-up seeking a lawfirm to litigate the VA and VA personnnel. Please note the "If ... then" sequence which calls into question your professional competence and/or moral values.


140418@0445: I really hate falling asleep every 15 or 20 minutes for a few minutes thereby losing my train of thought. It is like crawling or baby steps when I am used to running mental marathons. I just cannot believe that any doctor would withhold a $9/month medication that alleviates this hell-on-earth for anybody, especially a vet who has a track record of helping others.

140504 Having gained 25 pounds or more, I must spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a new wardrobe. Thanks.

140514 In light of the hidden lists of delayed treatment--which I suspected--when I want to commit suicide, I will go to the V.A. for a variation of suicide by cop-killing only suicide by V.A. doc killing.
