Who Cares

[mymissie]

I have a Vet in in Eunice,La. who called VA- was told the Line- if its an emergency,Call 911!!!!!!

Well,he was havinh Congestive Heart failure,an double pneunina/plursy.

So,He went to the local Hospital,for care,and then HE called Fee Basis. He was told that the <VA WOULD NOT PAY THE HOSPIAL BILL >

The VA tellS Him -to go get emergency care,then say they won't pay.

THE HOSPITAL ALSO CALLED THEM.

Now this Vet is on A&A,Plus the Hospital in Alexandria,and Shreport,La. told Him(hospital in Eunice) that they HAD NO ROOMS to Accept at either Hospitals.

Now that is taking care of our Veterans!!!!!

Yesterday,after three day I picked up my Vet,and he went home,no better then when he went in,Went home to Die???? Got Him Nursing 3 times a week,plus some one to go cleane his house an cook for him.

The Doctors Discharged him,an said there was nothing they could do,and to keep trying to get into the VA Hospital as soon as they had a Room.

IF HE DIES,tHEY SET THEMSELVES UP FOR A lAWSUIT,BIG TIME.!!!

If there are no beds the VA HAS TO PAY to put a Vet in that condition in a Hospital.
