VA's Peer review

[rod]

The regional office keeps saying "next" week the peer review should be done.  They've said it for over 2 months. Should I be concerned with the delays?

Peer review is a sham.. The whole VAMC system is a  sherade. MANY doctors who sign on, and the sign confidentiality agreements, are baptized by the piss of the evil inside the VA, and quit soon after. Ive seen this happen several times. I believe the doctors try, but many times thier efforts are thwarted  because of unlawful practices of systematic denial of care tactics inside VAMCs to try and save money, at the expense and anguish of the veterans.

If your waiting on a big admonishment of the doctor in question or some big  discovery and reconsciliation of your situation, you will likely never hear anything.

Ive lived what im saying, Ive been the whole rigamaroo, except for tort, and that could still happen if they piss me off again,.

Theres a reason you cannot even speak directly with the assistant director or director of a VAMC, its so there is no proof they are or were aware of your problem.

Reminds of a situation that happened while in germany.  A female was airing up a tire that was still on the truck, and should have been take off and put in a cage, because of the deadly split rim design. Tire blew and the rim mangled her pretty bad, she lived but it messed her up. There was a HUGE BOOM when the tire blew.

The butter bar  liutenant who was the  squad leader and always late or no show to the motor pool due to requesting too many beers from the local  bierhause the night before was walking on the side walk on the way to the motor pool across the street when the tire blew. I immediately saw him do an about face, and quicktimed his hungover sorry ass the opposite way. WHY DID HE DO THIS? Well if he wasnt there, how could he be held responsible.. As long as he came up with a believable lie as to why he wasnt there he was safe from repremand.. This is how I see the inner processes of the VA workings.. Theres always someone to pass the blame on.

I believe that a significant number of the doctors and some others went to work for the VA after events in or related to private practice. They likely consider the VA as their "last resort". As such they fall into the habit of considering "If I do this, will it impact my employment here" as the primary concern, not necessarily doing what is best for the veteran.

 I knew this would start and it has. I called a nurse practitioner I've been talking to for a few years. We've got along very well, but yesterday she was very nasty and short. I knew if I filed a claim that I'd probably have retaliation from the local VA providers.
