Originally, I had posted this under antoher thread. Here's a quote that is indicative of what I see as wrong/bad/incompetent about the VA:

Veizaga-Mendez's whereabouts are unclear. He has no listed telephone number and has been unreachable for comment.

The Marion VA hired Veizaga-Mendez in January 2006 after he practiced in Massachusetts, where he was under investigation for substandard care in 2004 and 2005. The claims include allegations that he botched seven cases, two ending in deaths.

Veizaga-Mendez was permanently barred from practicing medicine in Massachusetts last November — a disciplinary move that also requires him to resign other state medical licenses he may hold and withdraw pending license applications. He has also made payouts in two Massachusetts malpractice lawsuits.


So this butcher wasn't good enough to proactice his trade in the Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts, but manages to find his way into the VA hospital system. Anybody else see a problem with that?
