I think this VA administrator needs to be relieved of her duties pending a full investigation. This is a total disrespect to the veterans.

The punishment? What was earned.. fired... it is a job, it was not done to standard, it was callous disrespect to the customers served.. and It surprises me not at all.
I admit my observed pool of VA employees is small , but I can say that 100% of VA employees I have had to deal with (two) were unprofessional, rude, argumentative and derogatory in how they approached the Vet (me).
I was treated as a liar and thief from the second I stepped into the VA hospital, I was handled as a bother, and someone that was abusing the system and only there to steal. Every question or "test" was was done to prove I was not in pain or hurt, nothing was done to help me, or substantiate my claims.

After that visit, I will never again seek anything from the VA, and I will continue to lobby with my representatives for the VA to be completely disassembled and a network of privatized providers put in place...

They need to fire her and yank her license immediately if they haven't done so yet. Veteran suicide and suicide in general is not funny. Each one of them is a brother or sister crying out for help and in pain. Their death hurts us all and leaves a empty void in those closest to them. If someone like her can't take her job seriously for our brothers and sisters then she has no right to even have her license and have a job in her field anywhere.
