When all this news broke all I could think was that while the nation may be shocked, most people who have had friends or family in a VA hospital weren't. I know they aren't all bad but the level of care in many of them is terrible. I'm glad the nation is paying attention at last.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-91537639501286578022007-03-09T08:23:00.000-06:002007-03-09T08:23:00.000-06:00Thank you all for the replies and well wishes!Thank you all for the replies and well wishes!Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-73016352822070782162007-03-08T23:40:00.000-06:002007-03-08T23:40:00.000-06:00Ahh there is good news out there.Hope things keep ...Ahh there is good news out there.<BR/><BR/>Hope things keep on keepin' on.BurdockBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174758566322248274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-8729458869098042872007-03-08T22:20:00.000-06:002007-03-08T22:20:00.000-06:00Oh, so glad your dad is feeling so much better!

And especially glad to hear that the VA there is treating veterans in a deserving way.<BR/><BR/>My husband is a veteran and though he has been treated respectfully at the VA here in Florida, they are a nightmare when it comes to his care and benefits. The Bay Pines hospital lost his file of twenty-some years, conveniently lost ALL paperwork pertaining to his combat injury and coma and hospitalization when he was having his benefits status re-examined. The national file was also missing years of documentation.<BR/><BR/>They are still refusing him benefits based on the missing file...that we have a letter from them saying THEY lost.<BR/><BR/>Oh, don't get me started...<BR/><BR/>SO glad your dad is feeling like his old self! We'll still keep him in prayer :)Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-31411252574007943032007-03-08T17:22:00.000-06:002007-03-08T17:22:00.000-06:00I have a friend that works there.
