http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/03/report-va-hired-doctors-with-malpractice-claims-felony-convictions-against-them/The Department of Veterans Affairs has carried on with the practice of hiring doctors with malpractice claims and felony convictions in their backgrounds.
A USA Today investigation has found that the VA’s hiring process for physicians may not be as thorough as it seems. The hiring process entails license verification and reference-checking, but it appears as though VA officials have some amount of discretion when they discover medical licensing problems, malpractice or felony convictions.
In other words, VA officials can simply disregard sordid pasts and approve hiring of questionable doctors, anyway.
