In 1992, when I was discharged from the Air Force, I had several serious medical issues dating back to my time in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm; issues that forced me to take an early out from the Air Force. I went to the Orlando Veterans Affairs clinic within a few months after I got discharged to get help for my medical problems. From the beginning, it seemed I was hitting a brick wall. The doctor I saw for the chronic diarrhea I was having since 1991 looked me in the eye and said, “It’s all in your head.” Boy, that was laughable. All I could say was, “No, it’s not.” The doctors put me through various tests, but claimed the results only showed irritable bowels.
