The Va Needs To Be More Careful Of "who" They Make Wait A Long Time In The Waiting Room

[broncovet]

The VA may have messed with the WRONG Vet:

The VA will be forced to give better care, never knowing "who" they will be serving. It looks like they may have to actually treat Veterans decent, if more congress critters do this.

Its really too bad this congress critter did not apply for disability compensation....

I don't know about you but I like this guy. Excuse me, I like this Congressman.

I seriously can't believe that staff didn't bend over backwards once they realized who he was. However that shouldn't matter, congressman, or broken soldier, doesn't matter, as a patient, as Veteran seeking care, as human being, he was treated like most of us have been and still are.

I hope that this is the beginning of some serious change in the healthcare that WE are provided. Man I would have loved to hear the conversations going on in the room, a fly on the wall sort of speak. Hopefully this keeps the fire going for OUR fight.

Reports like this give me a pick me up to keep the fight going. Awesome. I need that.

My apologies, I just got carried away.

I don't like the way this was done . Visiting a VA with no ID.

I will say his intention was good, but the implementation was poor.

The workers attempted to do their job; however a little disorganized and slow.

Showing up with no ID would be a hardship on any agency unless the systems are connected or operate off the same server.

You would think the systems would be connected, but you never know.

A better resolution would be for veterans to be properly scheduled (no over scheduling) and to stick to exact appointment times.

For more dire circumstances, have a clinic fully staffed which specifically addresses medical emergencies on a 24 hour basis.

Also, give the congressman credit for passing bills to help the situation.

I think a point that could be made is that it is the VA's responsibility to work around those issues to complete their mission, which is to help veterans, especially those who cannot help themselves, regardless of any obstacles...maybe?
