Question
Berta
I guess many others as well as myself, for years, have been griping to VA about this.
I pointed out 2 specific ways to the Secretary and to Potus, months ago, as to how the VA gets away with hiding their neglignce and malpractice statistics,under 1151 awards as well as FTCA.
This was a brief story at 6:45 AM so I hope I can get more info on who is looking into this and where the report came from.
Maybe it was USA Today....missed the source. Did anyone else hear this at Fox this AM?
They did say settlements under FTCA have cost the VA Millions...
23 years ago this Saturday my husband died- death by VA....this all was part of my call to the Veterans Hotline as well....
I called as an advocate pushing a few reasons why we have a backlog, and how VAROs perpetrate that backlog,by making ridiculous errors in decisions, deliberately ignoring evidence, etc etc, ( they had part of my C file stuff when they called me back and I told them my multiple decisions alone in my C file prove what I had written to them about,but then they asked me a to talk a little about my husband...I had not mentioned him at that point, and they knew from whatever they accessed via VA,he had died.
I broke down and told them how the VA killed him.... I am still angry-----there have been plenty more successful FTCAs and 1151 claims in the past 23 years......costing our tax payers Millions. I think they also had a copy of my H VAC testimony too. Maybe something will Finally be done. Instead of just moving malpracticing doctors to other VAMCs- maybe now they will get fired.

Berta...Thank you for your years of service to Veterans, and to fix this injustice. However, this being said, I do not (always) blame the doctors, tho there are, of course, bad docs also.
