Re: Iraq/ VA hospitals

Indeed. One problem the VA has always had is that quality varies big time between hospitals. Some is related to compensation...the pay scales of VA physicians and nursing staff is set centrally (probably with some COL adjustment) and in most of the country that is way out of line with what they could make in private hospitals. Another issue is that no matter what rules are made, they have to be enforced...and it is difficult in the extreme to remove a substandard government employee.

Cathy, the uncle I spoke of has this type of disabilities due to multi
