TIME LINE: Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68
August 3, 2007 to August 10, 2007. Psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts.
August 3, 2007. It was suggested to me by my primary care Dr. Huang / Module 4 that I speak with Dr(s) about being admitted to 2 NE in the psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts. I was admitted and stayed there till August 10, 2007.
August 10, 2007 to September 7, 2007. “Responsibilities Group”
During my stay at the lock down unit it was suggested to me by a Dr. I know only as Richard, that I should attended the “Responsibilities Group”. A 28-day live in program at a house away from the hospital which was called Harris House. I was to attend 5 full days of drug therapy at the hospital in what was called “Responsibilities Group” I had not drunk or used drugs in the past 3 years except marijuana about 5 times during the months of March and April 2007. I assumed the hospital did not have a suicidal program only a drug addiction program so I agreed to this Responsibilities Group. Knowing the complete hospital and living program was about 9 months long.
September 7, 2007 to September 17, 2007. One extra week in “Responsibilities Group” then starts “Problems Group”
I had to stay an extra week in “Responsibilities Group because I needed extra time to memorize some rules. Then I was admitted into “Problems Group”. I also had moved into a different housing area called R4 Housing. R4 Housing and Harris House where both contracted by the VA hospital with a company called Veterans Alcoholic Rehabilitations Program, VARP Inc. Main office, 1100 N. “D” Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401.
The first order of business in “Problems Group” was to have my counselor submit a letter to the Big Bear Courthouse showing my enrolment in the VA drug addiction program.
The second order of business that same time in “Problems Group” was my one week dismissal/kicked out out of “Problems Group” and thus out of the R4 housing. Thus I was in R4 housing 10 days and in “Problems Group” less then one full group meeting. About 20 minutes total.
September 17, 2007 to September 21, 2007, VA psychiatric lock down unit again because of suicidal thoughts.
After getting kicked out of “Problems Group” I went to the VA emergency room and requested to be admitted to 2 NE’s psychiatric lock down unit because of suicidal thoughts. I was admitted and stayed there till September 21, 2007.
October 24, 2007 I applied for Operation Breakthrough in Big Bear Lake, CA.
I was accepted into Operation Breakthrough drug treatment program and attended my first group session on October 26, 2007.
October 29, 2007 I was order by the court to continue Operation Breakthrough program.

Veterans Day Letter to Congressman Jerry Lewis
Veterans Day November 11, 2007
TO:
US Congressman Jerry Lewis Phone: 909 – 792-5901
1150 Brookside Ave., Suite J-5
Redlands, CA 92373
Dear Congressman Lewis:
Enclosed is a copy of the front of an envelope addressed to the Loma Linda VA Hospital, 2nd Floor, 2 NE for Mr. Jerry Smith. A hospital staff member, apparently from 2nd Floor, 2 NE, then scribbled above the address, “No longer on This Unit.” As you can also see there are large black marker lines crossing out the address and the letters RTS [Return To Sender] with an arrow pointing to my return address.
The point I’m trying to make is that no matter how much money the Republicans or Democrats give to the VA hospitals in the next budget, or how the money is bundled, it makes no difference when the VA personal lacks such unprofessional and disrespectful attitudes towards us Veterans.
The above envelope contained my October 27, 2007 letter of which both you Congressman Lewis and Senator Barbara Boxer have already received. Both your staff’s and Mr. Manuel Vasquez of the Dept. of Alcohol and Drug Program have all guarantied me you would keep me informed as to your investigations as to the letter’s request regarding Mr. Jerry Smith.
That request said, “Please [Jerry Smith] send me the written report stating the details as to why I was irregularly discharged, on or about the 2nd week of Sept. 2007, from your “Problems Group”.
The obvious scenario that I see is the VA’s 2nd floor, 2 NE is acting deceitful and unprofessional by not writing me a letter about how to contact Jerry Smith. As we can all see now by the scribbled note on the envelope that the problem of disrespect to Veterans is not just only with Jerry Smith but the staff on the VA’s 2nd floor.
Putting more money into this rotten barrel of a hospital will only temporarily cover-up the rot. Change the hospital’s attitude and provide me with my requested written report. PLEASE!
Sincerely,
Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68
