VA Offers Vietnam Vet Appointment Two Years After His Death

Douglas Chase, a Vietnam veteran from Boston, died of a brain tumor in 2012 after four months of waiting to receive medical care at a Veterans Affairs hospital. The VA contacted his widow, Suzanne Chase, two weeks ago, to offer her deceased husband a doctor’s appointment.

“It was 22 months too late,” Chase told WBZ. “I kind of thought I was in the twilight zone when I opened this letter and read it.”

Chase was stunned by the letter, since the VA ostensibly knew of her husband’s death–she had applied for funeral benefits in 2012 and was rejected.

They appeared to blame the incident on recent efforts to correct their widespread scheduling failures.

So that's what they're calling the phony waiting lists now... scheduling failures.  Just another workplace incident under the Boy King's watch.

There's a whole lot of pissed off roiling just under the surface of this country that, while not being reported, is nonetheless very palpable.
