Comments & Feedback
Here I thought you should read this article I found/posted:
Woo hooo, can't believe I am the first to post anything here. Anyhow - wanted to say, I like it when you come in with the facts.
I'm a 100% disabled vet who walked into the VA hospital in Bonham, Texas 7 years ago in great health, just needed my blood pressure prescription. I've gone from a man able to live a healthy, full, active life (with two small service connected disabilities) to never being able to work again.
To make things worse, when I sought justice for myself and help for me and my family, I found that not only did both Bonham and Dallas Med Centers commit malpractice, but engaged in a scandalous cover-up. I'm on a campaign now to force my congressmen, senators and everyone else who has a voice to help me and as many other veterans who've been wronged, crippled, or killed, as I can possibly find.
