AMY LINSKY, MD AMY LINSKY AMY LINSKY, a practitioner of internal medicine, at VA Boston, diagnosed the veteran with BIPOLAR DISORDER BOSTON MASSACHUSSETTS

Massachussetts Board of Medicine:

Medical Community:  

As a veteran, I do have a reasonable expectation that my VA medical record will become public at any moment.  That is why it is important for the veteran to review his/her medical file to make sure it is accurate.  If you cant help your medical file from becoming public information, at the very least, an effort has to be made to make sure the medical record is as accurate as possible.  

That is why I am sharing with you a diagnosis --bipolar disease (sct 13746004)--made by Amy Linsky, an internal medicine practitioner at VA Boston.  According to the website link below, 

"To diagnose bipolar disorder, a doctor or other health care provider may:

• Complete a full physical exam.
• Order medical testing to rule out other illnesses.
• Refer the person for an evaluation by a psychiatrist."

As a patient, I saw Amy Linsky for a few visits, and she mostly focused on my sex life.  My request for the Massachussetts board of medicine is that they review the work of Amy Linsky to make sure her diagnosis is accurate, and that she followed proper procedure to validate such diagnosis. 



The same is true for the medical community in general, its always a good idea to double check the work of your colleagues.  Thats going to go a long way towards eliminating abuse towards veterans by medical staff at our VA clinics.
