If I were in your husbands position, active duty I assume, I would go
to
sick-call and demand treatment. In my area, there is a very good Navy
hospital and they treat almost every condition. I can't imagine the
military
would make a sick active duty member wait it for referrals while
their
condition worsens. Maybe it is time to go to a higher authority, many
links
are available on the web.

Is it Balboa Naval Hospital?

That's it, I haven't been there in years but it did provide excellent
care. I have heard it has a lot of Iraq wounded patients there now and the
wards are full and the staff is down so it might not be as good as before.

Since I turned 65, I now use Medicare and Tricare for Live. I can go to
any doctor I please and don't pay any fees or co-pay.

I have Tricare for Life. How is it you have no fees? I don't have a co-pay
but I pay a percentage until I've met my catastrophic cap, and I also pay in
full up to the deductible, per family. I only have Medicare part B. I
think that's the part. The hospitalization part. Not the other one. Or do
you have both?
