Question

Is the VAMC responsible for treating a veteran spouse for major medical issues and then close all the speciality clinics and no follow up after care/Rehab...and now because of this her health has deteriorated badly.
can the VA be held responsible?
With my spouse its like the VA does treat her for a major medical issue but refuse the after care and rehab, they did this with her triple heart by pass and her wound got infected after they sent her home we went back to the VAMC and the surgeon that did her heart surgery was on the heart floor he seen her and took her in a room with a nurse the Dr had the nurse to go get a pair of scissors and he cut her wound open without proper preparations or in a clean environment and she was never given any antistatics for pain or anything and it was very painful for her, the Dr looked at me and said'' you better watch how I do this''...so to me the Dr knew in his mind or was informed she would be turn away from the VA for later medical treatment in this particular case.
This is just one incident there are other medical incidents that the VA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR.
We do understand the VAMC CITI program is closed now to all veterans spouses but why did they treat my spouse and then turn her away for the After follow up care....this all happen when the VAMC was a Part of the CITI program.
Ms Berta what is your opinion about his please?

I thought the VAMCs were supposed to refer CITI pts elsewhere when they closed the program.. But still, if she is fully eligible for CHAMPVA ( she must have Medicare Part A and Part if she is 65
