Question
Berta
A reporter here in NY is preparing a story on why the malpractice payouts regarding VA FTCA settlements have risen so much over the past few years.
He was specifically interested in FTCA cases that occurred due to improper health care in New York state VAMCs.
The picture is far bigger than that.......
Before I give out his contact info here....has anyone here won a FTCA case against VA in NY, except for me?
Has anyone here won,instead, a Section 1151 case here in NY? I only know of 2 people locally.
Do we have any guest readers out there who have succeeded in any of the above, willing to join and tell us about it (or contact the reporter?)
Has anyone here gone to the Federal District Court to win a FTCA case, in NY?
Does anyone here have a FTCA issue pending with VA counsel that arose from an incident at a NY VAMC?
Also , this was an important post that might not have gotten the attention it needs:
Pwrslm is willing to look into the fact that we have incompetent C & P examiners, who cause valid claims to be denied,and in my opinion, since they base their exams after a reading of the medical records (if in fact they actually do that) that there is a nexus in some cases between a lousy C & P exam and downright malpractice.
I still believe the C & P exam they did early this year on my 1151 HBP claim was done by someone at my RO who had no medical background whatsoever.
I raised this C & P issue that pwrslm posted on above ,with the reporter but he is focusing, at this time, solely on malpractice issues....which I feel he should expand beyond NY State because all internet news stories on VA malpractice go all over the net anyhow if one searches for them.

Incompetent VA examiners is widespread in VA, not just NY. I personally had an incompetent exam. The doctor admitted as such, that she had neither training nor expertise in Sleep apnea, but rendere

"Public exposure would certainly motivate the IG, but the whole thing needs to be based on multiple claims, not just one (me)." This is the same problem I am having with dealing with the reporter I me
