[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1155703, member: 4362"] The best thing that could happen for the veterans is to allow them to go to other hospitals where the facilities are not filled with career government employees who care more about their time off than the patient. This would work for the majority of the people but I think we still need special hospitals to deal with some of the traumatic wounds most hospitals rarely see. I think patients who require this specialized care should be kept in the military and continue to draw their pay and housing allowance until they are fit enough to be discharged and at this time any future care could be given at the hospital of their choice. I know several people who have to drive several hours for care when they could get the same if not better care locally. My son was supposed to have his knee operated on but the surgeon retired and no one ever bothered to take his case load so he hobbled around for months in a bureaucratic vacuum. I went out myself to talk to these idiots and they blew smoke up my azz but never did anything. Finally a call to a senator got things rolling. This would never happen in a privately run hospital and it should never happen in any hospital. [/QUOTE]
