WTF Good ole VA hospitals

[Mr. Argumentor]

Buddy of mine went to a VA hospital yesterday, his doc pulled up Wikipedia in front of him to help interpret his x-rays.

Then there is this https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ay-va-nurse-downed-beers-assisted-in-surgery/

wow

 

[my little brony]

What was the article? Maybe he's a notorious fact checker and wanted to make sure the article on the seven years war was factually correct.

"Dude, she wasn't even slick about it. I was like "what does this writeup on my xray mean?" She's like "I don't know." Opened Wikipedia and started showing me" - friend

 

[my little brony]

Was it an actual doctor or just a nurse? Also the radiologist might need to interpret


But then again don't forget: what do you call someone that barely graduated at the very bottom of their class in medical school?

 

[hydra]

i mean it's free/super cheap care, what would you expect?

Freedom isn't free, motherfucker


I would expect that those that damage themselves in the name of the govt get decent care from the govt

Pretty sure it was the doctor, and it sounds like the radiologist already interpreted and annotated the point on the xray?

Which is precisely the point. They volunteered for this country. When theyre done, they should be taken care of by this country.

were they compensated for their time on the job?

Not fairly.

Not fairly.

im guessing they prolly signed a big contract with the rate theyd get for their time, and theres also prolly a big disclaimer that says "job may include high likelihood of being shot at or death", so again perceived "fairness" is irrelevant

I cannot tell you how hilarious it is that you are trying to tell me, a former military member, that life isn't fair.

Thats not quite how it works. There's also much more to it than money that causes issues.
