  1. Thank you so much for your reply...I'll keep you posted with anything new and pertinent. Ron
  2. First let me say that I can't tell you how grateful I am for a site/forum such as this! As I'm sure you all know it can get kind of dicey out hear trying to go up against the feds/VA without sufficient information and support. So, to all of you who have served and participate, THANK YOU!!! I am in the process of filling complaints against the Denver VA Medical Center for an assortment of violations ranging from illegal use of the "disruptive behavior note" as a means of patient retaliation for filing a complaint with the patient advocates office to withholding of care, violations of standards of care related to dental issues, violations of informed consent laws/regs, falsifying medical records, omissions leading to damage to patient health, etc. My number one concern tonight is that I recently discovered whistle blower laws only apply to employees or contracted workers. My question is what legal protections does a veteran have against retaliation for filing a complaint against a doctor or doctors? And what should I do to protect myself? My next question has to do with who might I contact to share my evidence with that proves my above listed allegations? My evidence is solid. It will not be my word against theirs because four years ago I saw the writing on the wall and began taping key dental visits to protect myself from people in the dental office who, without a doubt, didn't have my best interest at heart. A trusted provider at the VA told me after reviewing what I had in terms of evidence said he's never seen such a solid case that will not rely on my word against there's. For example, just days after filing a complaint against the dental department my claim that I watched being supposedly entered into the hospital data base just disappeared without a trace, And just a few days after that the assistant chief of Dentistry wrote a "disruptive behavior note" and I didn't find out about until months later. It was looked into and I was cleared of any wrong doing. But they weren't finished. At a dental visit a few weeks later a dentist in a neighboring cubicle wrote another disruptive behavior note that was a total fabrication. She didn't realize, however, that I recorded the whole appointment and what can be heard on the recording in no way matches what she claims I said and did at that appointment that she feels justified the action she took that could have led to my records being flagged. Their is much more and the "note" is only one aspect of my complaint. But in short, I have irrefutable evidence and I want to know what you guys think on how I should proceed. By the way, another substantiated complaint has to do with physical harm being done to me from the wrongful extraction of numerous teeth, etc. I know may of our veteran brothers and sisters are humiliated and marginalized at too many of our VA facilities, and I think I have the goods to bring their misdeeds into the light and force them to make some changes. That is my hope. Ron L
