    He explained to me what my problem was, as far as the blood pressure and all, and I will be entering into the hospital Monday or Tuesday, so he can take care of...my blood pressure was high, and he wants to get it taken care of.

    I use the phone for a phone visit. I didn't speak with no nurses or anything. The questions about nurses you can just disregard and the doctor is real concerned about my health care. And he's a real good doctor. I just wish we had more communications between the VA and UAMS, but that's it.
