Berta Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yeah, Tomah aka Candyland (see past VA Scandal on Tomah)... and I bet this wont be the only wrongful death there. The VAOIG reports reads in part as: "Unexpected Death of a Patient During Treatment wi th Multiple Medications, Tomah VAMC, Tomah, WI Executive Summary "The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) Office of Healthcare Inspections (OHI) conducted an inspection at t he request of Senator Tammy Baldwin and Senator Ron Johnson to assess the merit of an allegation m ade to OHI by a father after his son died unexpectedly during the course of treatment for mental health (MH) problems at the Tomah VA Medical Center (fac ility), Tomah, WI. The father alleged that his son (patient) died from an overdos e of medications administer ed while receiving treatment at the facility. The medical examiner concluded that the patient’s cause of death was mixed drug toxicity. We enlisted the services of a non-VA forensic toxicologist to serve as a consultant and subject matter expert. The consultant agreed with the medical examiner’s conclusion" I also bet that the family might not have been fully informed of what VA really doesn't want anyone to know.... This is not a FTCA case until the family files a SF 95..... If they think the OIG will do that for them , they are wrong....... They were smart to contact those 2 Senators...otherwise VA would have never really looked into this wrongful death. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University !
