[edit] controversy

Wouldn't it be appropriate to include a section on the various controversies surrounding bad conditions at VA facilities and other recent scandals and controversies regarding care of veterans and soldiers?nf utvol (talk) 20:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ad-like

The first paragraph of this entry seems to read like an advertisement. And as mentioned before, there definitely should be some discussion of the controversies surrounding the organization. I'm not knowledgeable enough to do the editing though... User7145 (talk) 16:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VA gives phenomenal care

My father, a retiree and POW, received treatment at the VA. Originally, 20 years ago, he was unhappy with their service. The VA revamped their operations about 10 years ago and he said the difference was like night and day. He was VERY pleased with the health care he received.

I have worked in hospitals for nearly 25 years now. Everywhere I hear the horror stories. I remember once a doc amputated the wrong leg on a diabetic male. Man is not perfect and mistakes are going to happen. Just because the VA serves veterans does not mean they are automatically going to be the BEST hospital.

Thank you for not putting in notes of scandals regarding the VA. They do the best job they can with what they have. For the quantity of veterans they serve every year, I think they do a phenomenal job!Hospital worker (talk) 16:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
