I think that Veterans who have been or are in the process of being killed by the negligence of their own VA doctors should not be ignored, as a friend of mine has been ignored.

I have a friend who had a tumor in his lung TWO YEARS ago, and the specialist at the VA hospital knew about it. Pathology recommended a CAT Scan. The CAT Scan was never done. His primary care physician was never notified.

He has gone in to see these retarded clowns over and over and over again since that time, with pain, coughing, shortness of breath... and not one of them has read his records or picked up on that little item.

Now, two years later, he has stage 3 B lung cancer and if he is very lucky, he has one year left to live.

He has had to leave the VA health care system to receive decent medical care, and will not go back.
