If they are fortunate enough to even get rated within two years, then these hapless souls must deal with surly, bureaucratic individuals that could care less about the veteran, doctors that prefer to cut and paste previous records in order to save time, thereby falsifying medical records and extraordinary wait times for the privilege of NOT being treated! Add to these facts, dirty examination rooms, limited parking areas, long distance travel, inability to communicate with outside personal doctors and a major influx of new wounded veterans, the VA is making the "scandal" at Walter Reed a walk in the park. God help anyone if they have a terminal disease. If this is the model for the future of healthcare in this country, not only are the veterans screwed once again, our whole country, or what is left of it will be ruined. I'll bet no one in Congress is using the VA for their private healthcare.<br /><br />I thought General Shinseki, who spent months recuperating in a VA hospital, was going to address these and other more pressing issues from his personal experiences. All we got was a beret when he retired from the Army. What are we getting now?Richard K. Bergernoreply@blogger.com
