So this is the way the VA solves their internal problems, by shuffling the managers into different medical centers, doing the same job they were shuffled out of. Makes sense, doesn't it.
WASHINGTON — Although Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald has asserted that more than “90%” of the VA’s medical centers have “new leadership” or “leadership teams” since he took over the troubled agency in 2014, a USA TODAY investigation found the VA has hired just eight medical center directors from outside the agency during that time.
The rest of the “new leadership” McDonald cites is the result of moving existing managers between jobs and medical centers. Some managers were transferred to new jobs despite concerns about the care provided to veterans at the facilities they were previously managing.

I am at the VA at this very moment. Needing a form signed verifying I get my blood pressure meds here. The Dr who was seeing me no longer is here. Now the new Dr is out for the week. The Tel a Dr is my only hope. I need this form to start my job. Why hell who needs a job right?

Do you have "My Healthy Vet? It shows what prescriptions you take. This is unbelievable, and ridiculous. Who's asking for the signed form?

We don't have my healthy vet here that I know of. Also just finished talking to the clinic she sent a referral to be seen in the world. That was in August. No Dr yet. Just finished talking to the outside referral service. No Appointment yet. The VA IS STILL MESSED UP like Obama's momma

Having delt with the VA from 1982 I can tell you it is a epic battle. They finally gave me my disability rating only after a so called representative who dumped my file and made my case go past the year Mark. Then they payed zero pack pay. That representative was fired for cause. But I lost well over 100.000. To this day I still use the BA I'm a life member of the DAV. I give to all service organizations. Except for one. Only because of the fact they did not stand for me when their employee was demanding me to sell him my car to get my disability.

Sgt Kendall Kimber I guess I'm very fortunate. I've not had any problems with the VA.
