Update

August
18th
2023.
I
am
now
aware
of
how
bad
VAMC
Clarksburg
is.
One
of
our
neighbors
was
prescribed
the
incorrect
medication.
It
has
literally
destroyed
his
intestines
and
left
him
near
death.
Thank
God
that
he
has
some
family
that
is
helping
him
along.
The
medical
practitioner
that
injured
him
is
responsible
for
hurting
others
as
well.
Cautionary
tale.
Also,
a
member
of
my
family
was
given
an
injection
for
covid-19,
and
they
hit
the
wrong
area,
injuring
a
nerve.
ER
doctors
are
not
very
helpful
and
dismiss
it
with
some
medication.
Instead
of
addressing
the
problem
and
training
people
correctly,
especially
the
young
lady
who
obviously
was
a
newbie
to
the
whole
thing,
they're
ignoring
it
as
usual.
That
is
my
opinion,
and
by
God
I'm
sticking
to
it!
I
am
really
pissed
right
now
at
them.
It's
a
rat's
nest.
In
my
view.
It
needs
to
be
rooted
out.
Avoid
visits
if
possible.
Private
outside
care
might
be
better,
but
God
help
you
either
way
because
we
seem
to
have
some
competency
problems
these
days.
I
would
give
this
facility
zero
stars
if
possible.
Read
on
for
further
comments.
--------------------
Sadly,
I
must
change
my
ratings
of
this
facility.
I
blame
the
situation
sqarely
upon
the
"Biden
Administration"
and
the
liberals
who
think
veterans
aren't
owed
anything.
This
hospital
had
5
stars
in
my
prior
review.
Today,
the
wife,
a
disabled
veteran,
had
to
avail
herself
of
the
ER
staff
again.
We
were
at
the
hospital
a
total
of
5.5
hours,
and
there
were
only
a
few
scant
patients.
Per
the
attending
ER
there,
staff
had
been
CUT
IN
HALF.
He
administered
a
COVID
test
to
my
wife,
but
could
not
provide
the
normal,
expected
flu/RSV
because
that
had
been
"REMOVED"
as
unnecessary
by
the
VA.
The
ER
MD
had
a
lot
to
say
about
THAT
as
well,
because
these
were
given
all
the
time,
every
time,
through
Summer
2022.
Now,
in
the
Fall
of
2022,
when
the
flu
becomes
prevalent,
the
VA
decides
it's
not
needed.
Since
WHEN
is
the
VA
system
any
kind
of
expert
in
things
"medical?"
Well,
they
have
become
that
true
oxymoron
of
"government
intelligence"
now.
The
news
articles
I
had
read
months
ago
talked
of
eliminating
services
at
ALL
VAMC
hospitals,
places
where
every
veteran
we
know
(and
knew)
would
always
resort-to
for
their
myriad
of
injuries,
treatments,
etc.
So
now
it's
happening
anyway.
News
says
it
was
killed.
Nope.
It's
happening.
And
then,
to
add
insult
to
my
wife
even
further,
we
waited
an
hour
and
a
half
for
some
meds
at
the
pharmacy.
The
meds
were
filled
while
my
wife
was
in
ER,
but
nobody
in
the
pharmacy
section
thought
to
look
for
them
when
we
first
asked.
"Oh,
we'll
call
you
when
it
is
ready"
was
the
standard
reply.
Well,
it
WAS
ready.
For
an
Hour
and
a
Half!
My
wife
just
needed
to
get
going.
This
was
a
full
day
of
nonsense.
Look,
I
have
no
problem
with
the
health
providers
overall.
Some
have
been
exemplary,
true
models
of
medical
science
(Dr.
Covelli
and
Dr.
Wiskowski,
to
name
two
key
physicians
in
my
care
over
the
years).
They
were
and
are
amazing.
But...the
problem
is
the
system
and
the
problem
is
the
current
administration
in-charge,
which
seeks
to
shunt
the
blame
to
everyone
and
their
cousin.
Know
what?
"The
buck
stops
here,"
and
Harry
S.
Truman's
words
are
no
less
true
today.
I
don't
need
to
hear
anything
more,
will
never
go
there
again.
My
wife
must
make
her
own
decisions
about
this
place.
You
may
not
like
my
review,
but
I
speak
from
my
experience
today,
and
from
the
heart.
I
know
where
the
blame
lies
and
where
evil
lies.
