VA inspector general warns: DC Medical Center patients “at unnecessary risk”
posted at 4:41 pm on April 12, 2017 by Ed Morrissey
At least this time veterans got a warning — some veterans, anyway. According to USA Today, the inspector general has reported that those veterans already at the Washington DC VA Medical Center are in “imminent danger” due to substandard care and facilities. The situation is so dire that Michael Missal felt it necessary to issue the warning before his inspection was complete:
Conditions are so dangerous at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C., that the agency’s chief watchdog issued a rare preliminary report Wednesday to alert patients and other members of the public. …
His investigation, which stemmed from an anonymous complaint on March 21, found that during the past three years, there have been 194 reports that patient safety has been compromised because of insufficient equipment.
