Wife and I are in the waiting room and my cell goes off. Check the number and it's for the local hospital that I receive care from.

'We just got a referral from the VA for you to see the urologist. You have blood in your urine?'

Oh, honey. That was almost a YEAR ago. I had kidney cancer. Your doctor was the one who did the surgery. I'm still seeing the Cancer Center on your grounds.

Also, this is why when you keep trying to charge me for care because you sent the bill to Medicare instead of the VA, and there is a leftover balance, and you ask for a reference number and I say that I don't have one, now you know why I don't have one.

Can't make this shit up. I use stuff like this for why government run health care is crap.
