about the Philly VA

For patients with prostate cancer, it is a common surgical procedure: a doctor implants dozens of radioactive seeds to attack the disease. But when Dr. Gary D. Kao treated one patient at the veterans’ hospital in Philadelphia, his aim was more than a little off.

Dr. Gary D. Kao is responsible for most of the errors, investigators say.

Most of the seeds, 40 in all, landed in the patient’s healthy bladder, not the prostate.

It was a serious mistake, and under federal rules, regulators investigated. But Dr. Kao, with their consent, made his mistake all but disappear.

He simply rewrote his surgical plan to match the number of seeds in the prostate, investigators said.

1. such is the life of my family

the list is way too long but the final straw was being told 'not to worry it is not a problem' when my husband's CT (he has cancer) showed changes in a mass in his abdomen; we were told the area was most likely a 'fatty mass' for years. finally when i read the radiology report and saw it was growing i wanted a biopsy we had to go to Mass.General hospital to have it done the VA decided it was not a problem an refused to do it. It is cancer. i am of the opinion it is in the interest of the government to let veterans die to save on paying out disability and pensions. I hate the VA

2. I am sorry you and your husband are going through this

This is not the way it should be for anyone, and of course not our military who serve our country.
It is shameful that greed should prevail.
I wish you and your husband all the best.:hug:

3. Justice for all!!

There is no justice for Whistleblowers in America, especially for Active duty military service members. Who I’m sure is exposed to military corruption everyday with all our taxpayers dollars going towards military defense or bailing out corrupt companies in the U.S.

Take a look at this video and you will see that even our own military would rather engage in a cover-up than to uphold a person's legal right. http://www.10news.com/investigations/20135300/detail.html

Mr. Holder, when are you going to hold Federal Agencies accountable for protecting the rights of Whistle Blowers and when is congress going to pass better legislation to ensure their rights are protected? Primarily the rights of our Veterans!!!

With all the subtlety of a pack of wild dogs chasing a wounded deer across an open field, the Navy brass are out to destroy the life and career of a minority female officer who blew the whistle on contractor fraud.

Lt. Cdr. Syneeda Penland has been informed the Navy intends to kick her out of the military as of July 31, just eight months short of the former enlisted woman qualifying for an active-duty retirement pension.
