Damn! I didn't see that... My bad. Still, the VA has been shitting the bed the last few years.
It is my understanding that the VA lobotomized over 4500 World War 2 veterans. They wanted to do a surgery on on me, but I cured the problem with antibiotics. Recently graduated med students at that...I heard you can get better medical care in Mexico! Be real careful with VA doctors. Nice thing about the internet is that you can check their credentials...

In fairness, most are teaching facilities. Yeah, chock full o' residents. Also chock full o' attendings that are also the attendings at the nearby University of Fill-in-the-state Hospital too. That was definitely the case when UCH was on 8th and Colorado, and likely will be again, if it isn't now. Basically anyone with a job in healthcare delivery has rotated through the VA at one time or another.
But it is depressing in there. I couldn't do it full time.
