Many of us who have served have had our hearing take a beating. As we grow older, however, the problem continues to get worse. VA patients have a great advantage over those in the civilian world in that the VA has no profit motive and only deals in the best of equipment. Dr. Megan Sullivan was so interesting and shared so much information that we asked her to come back. If you have a hearing problem, please do listen in and start the process of getting help. BTW no matter how old you are if the hearing impairment can be traced back to your service you may be able to file for a VA disability.

We had no idea it would be so popular but with two days to go we have crossed the 9000 mark in programs listened to and downloaded. Thank you to all who have helped us do this by sharing information with their friends, neighbors, and families. We now have a start on a website and it can be found at VeteransCornerRadio.com and although it has some useful info we can assure you it will be upgraded in the very near future and have some great search features.

John Rowan, President of the Vietnam Veterans of America shares his thoughts on the organization as it is today and how they are fighting for all veterans.

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0400

John Rowan was re-elected to an eighth term as the National President of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) at the organization’s 19th National Convention in Spokane, Washington. During this interview, he spoke of how, when our vets came back from Vietnam, there were no ticker-tape parades and even some of the mainline veterans' organizations turned their backs on the vets. Hence the start of VVA to serve the unique needs of the cast-aside warriors. We think that was a result of what these men faced coming home is the basis on which Americans have built greater respect for our current servicemen and women. Listen in to hear how the organization is still serving veterans and their families, many of which are still paying the Agent Orange penalty.

For those not familiar with The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) it is one of the premier veterans organizations that has taken on the task of helping veterans work their way through filing disability claims for injuries suffered while in military service. He reminds us that there is no statute of limitations on when you file the claim and it can mean thousands of dollars in monthly payments along with guaranteed access to the VA hospital system. With that said the DAV is so much more and by listening you will learn about their legislative actions and how chapters are serving the veterans community.

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0400

Clara Reynolds, CEO of the Crisis Line describes to you what you would get if you dialed 211 on the phone. What would you say if I told you that many crisis involving veterans and their families could be averted by this simple action, dial 211? Most people stare at me blankly when I ask that question. 211 is where you call if your life is in turmoil and you need help. 911 is for medical emergencies and 211 is for almost everything else. Anyone can call it and get free counseling, but if you are a vet when you call in, ask for a veteran to be your counselor. These folks are uniquely qualified to serve veterans and their families as they are trained to be able to open doors for you that you probably do not know exist. Whether you are a veteran or not, take a few minutes to listen to how they can help you.

Sheriff Chronister, helping to put veterans lives back together. A diversion program that works.

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0400

Sheriff Chronister is a trailblazer in the repair of lives corrupted by war. He is deeply committed to helping veterans who come into contact with the law return to being useful citizens. Listen while he shares information on the new veteran’s section of the jail and how it is centered on helping the vet, in conjunction with other agencies, to return to a productive life.
We should point out that Sheriff Chronisters' actions are not just something that the law enforcement arm is doing in a vacuum. He has worked with our Public Defender Julianne Holt and our Veterans Treatment Court Judge Michael Scionti to make it a seamless system of rehabilitation whenever possible. The proof of the value of this program is that in the end veterans moving through it have a recidivism rate of less than 10% and when you compare that to an overall recidivism rate in the state of Florida 36% you can see how well the program is working.

To see the other programs by the Public Defender and the Veterans treatment Court look to these to podcasts in our library.

Legal help for vets who find themselves in trouble with the law.

Judge Michael J Scionti and the Veterans Treatment Court - Recidivism is in the 10% range, much better than the national rate of about 76%.

If your spouse is a male over 40 this a program that both husband and wife should listen to together. Dr. Cesar Ercole is a member of the James A Haley VA hospital staff and a surgeon specializing in Urology. In this program he discussed prostate problems, warning signs and treatment options. This highly trained and very capable physician will tell you a variety of things that you may never here talking with a physician in the for-profit medicine world.

Over the years I have interviewed some of the top specialists in the field of prostate cancer and each leaned toward treating it with their discipline. Surgeons thought surgery was the best option, Radiologist of course leaned toward radiation. However, at the VA they have an array of treatments available without the profit motive to push one over the other. So, if you have prostate problems which is best for you? Listening to this broadcast will leave you better educated to make a treatment choice and it may be no treatment at all. That’s called watchful waiting and is indeed a good option for many older patients.

Listening to what Dr. Ercole has to say may well save your life of that of someone you love.
