twice is a coincidence...three times is a conspiracy theory...

[HereSince1628]

But in the past month an 1/2 I've had 3 appointments at the V.A., the later 2 following up on things found in my annual visit to the GP.

And each day that I've had appointments I've also got phone calls from a vet's group seeking donations.

Pretty weird, potentially a coincidence, but weird enough to make me think about the V.A. somehow leaking appointment data.

1. I haven't noticed that in my case

I've never once received a solicitation from a veterans group looking for a donation and I have at least 3 VA appointments a week.

Did you file a claim with the help of a veterans service organization? Maybe you signed a release of information that authorizes them to see you appointment data?? I'm just guessing here.

2. No, I stay clear of veterans organizations.

The S.O. thinks it's a coincidence, me not so much. The solicitors don't ask for me specifically, just start into their pitch when the phone is picked up.
