‘He deserves better – he served his country’: Shocking photo shows ill veteran lying on the FLOOR of a VA hospital where his sister says he waited [b]EIGHT HOURS[/b] for a bed
![]()
[quote] Tony Mims, a veteran who was seeking care at a VA Medical Center in Central Tennessee, waited eight hours for a bed on Thursday, his sister said
Gail Hobbs shared a photo of her tired brother lying on the floor while he waited
Hobbs said Mims was denied a bed repeatedly by a doctor who told her he was not going to be admitted as an inpatient, was not sick, and could not have a bed
He was later diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted
The Murfreesboro facility said 'the facts are much different than what’s presented in the Facebook post,' focusing on how long Mims spent on the floor
No comment was made regarding the eight hour wait for a bed, or the fact that Mims was ultimately diagnosed by a second doctor on Friday
The VA said he 'is now an inpatient in our facility and is being well taken care of'
Hobbs, who has been caring for Mims since April, said she hopes to have him placed in a nursing home by the end of the week [/quote]
