Veteran’s widow demands answers after VA denied his request for help with chronic pain

I'm a Nam vet I hurt my back there and I can so empathize with this poor lady and my poor veteran brother

Veterans CANNOT sue the government, we can only file a federal torte claim. We cannot sue the doctors for malpractice either. The system is rigged. But they do have a suicide PROMOTION hotline. The program works like this; they insure you are in constant pain, feed you pain pills like they are giving out candy..then stop giving pain pills, in the hope that they will commit suicide. Because it is cheaper to BURY a veteran, than it is to give them proper medical care.

"V.A. health care….giving a veteran a SECOND chance to DIE for their COUNTRY.

🙏🙏🙏😢How Awful prayers to this family. 🙏 why didn't they here from the Doctor and Why was he denied 🤔 😢😡

Rest easy brother Grunt!

VA perpetuated the Veteran opioid epidemic, then they abruptly stop it, even for folks that NEED it. FK VA

The VA also likes to deny 2nd opinions on cancer from specialists! They say, "we will give you your second opinion."

I know I am going through the same thing

This is what happens when you let liberals be in charge of the government. Most of the VA is ran by non-vets. You should have to be a vet or immediate family member of one to work at the VA.

These veterans deserve what they were promised, the veterans administration needs to be purged,and prosecuted.

and you all want the gov to run healthcare when they cant help veterans

The worst thing you can do is deny pain management for anyone…I myself took Tylenol PM for the Chronic pains….the Monster x inflections of abuse on me…Thank you Jeh God that I am alive…

I’ve been getting VA medical care for the past 20 years and they’ve always done right by me, and I’ve lived in 7 different states during that time.

My DEEPEST CONDOLENCES! I'm SOO SORRY! For Your LOSS!!!! My DAD Was ALSO a VETERAN. KOREAN WAR N WORLD WAR 2! THIS! Is SOO WRONG! PRAYERS 🙏💖 ALWAYS! FLINT MICHIGAN

Veterans get treated like SHIT!!!

My heart hurts for her and the pain her husband went through. He fought in Vietnam and those soldiers were treated horribly when they returned. Unfortunately, the poor treatment continued. This time, at the hands of his own government.

I'm so sorry for her and the family. My condolences. 😥

How wrong is this???? Hold that Doctor responsible…. Sue her. Sue the VA, Sue them all.

I thought the Trump Administration “FIXED” all the VA issues? Rest in peace to this poor man who had to suffer after giving his life to this country to only be treated like this like his medical condition didn’t matter 😢

Rest in Peace, thank you for your service sir.

I'm so sorry for her. He ended his life because his VA doctor denied him the treatment that would have helped him Who was the doctor? Why should they have so much say so?? The VA owes these men and women the same, if not better, health care that Congress gets, Maybe Biden and Congress should trade places with all the men and women who must use the VA for their health care. But who am I kidding, They wouldn't change a thing. Prayers for his widow and his family.

Building back better.

This is all too common. It took me a year to get treatment for my back. I had to use other doctors to get them to admit I needed an MRI. Once I had their attention, they tried to accuse me of seeking pain meds because I went to the emergency room too offen in their opinion. It was ridiculous, and I am still dealing with the fallout and the lost time.

this behavior by VA is common, my brother had diabetes. VA medical staff was always providing poor treatment, too late my bro died Jan 20223
