It shouldn't require the director of the VA to 'vet' every doctor that is hired by the VA system. The local chief of surgery should have simply reviewed the findings on the butcher that was eventually hired, and reams of negative material was there for the asking. I don't care if this butchery is common place, or if this is a related incident; the mere fact that it happened, and sadly happened in a VA hospital, is tragedy enough.

You get your panties in a wad so easily. I wasn't impugning the VA system, but simply stating FACTS - way too many deaths in a medical facility, staffed by what appears to be incompetent people, who were hired with too lame professional standards. In summary, if the butcher couldn't ply his sorry trade in M'Chusetts, why was he good enough to be hired by the VA? Probably because he couldn't get a job anywhere else.
