"UPDATE: MARION VA ADMINISTRATORS KNEW SURGEON
WAS NOT PROPERLY CREDENTIALED -- VA investigation:
Former director ignored troubling patient incident reports, failed
to establish a follow-up process for patient deaths and allowed
financial considerations to predominate over quality of care."
This is why I am fighting do hard over the lack of NPDB reporting data (a Mandatory VA requrement) regarding my husband's death-and Carlie here is in the same boat on this too-
The NPDB via HHS in each state holds the credialing info (or lack of it) on any VA doctor who was reported for prior malpractice.
That is -if the VA reported any past disciplinary actions under FTCA against the doctors.
What a cover up!
I almost expect Paul Hutter-chief General Counsel to call me up when he gets my latest letter-
Veterans are losing their lives due to VA negligence-
because these quacks get away with malpractice year after year and often the families of the dead vet do not sue them.
Without a FTCA lawsuit and payment - they get by scot free.
Years ago when my email was on the old hadit board I got countless emails from a vets wife here whose husband had-in my opinion - a bonafide prime facie case of malpractice under FTCA and 1151 against VA but he would not file the claims-
the wife kept emailing me what else they could do as they didnt want to sue the VA-
or file a claim under Section 1151-
yet she took the time to type long renditions of his lousy care-
If one does not take the steps to sue VA under FTCA over proven malpractice-they are just making it easy for the same doc or doctors to harm or kill another veteran.
