Monday letters: VA hospital ER performed poorly
I took a friend who was encountering severe chest and back pain to the VA hospital emergency room one recent night. After an hour and a half, I was able to go back to the treatment area to find that all that had been done was an X-ray and urine sample; the doctor had yet to see him. Although it did seem as if the ER was busy, five nurses were at or sitting near the desk in his area.
It seems that the VA continues as it has been portrayed.
