They're paid to die. Doesn't matter the reason why. They're
expendable by their very nature. That's why they get paid as
much as they do... and... get really shitty health care. UGH, I
have a neighbor who is ex-CIA. He has some harrowing stories -
mostly about mistakes. It's like the organization had two left
feet and couldn't get anything right. People scrambling to get
recognition, promotions and stuff... lack of cooperation at all
levels for all things...
Having worked for a Pharmaceutical company (Schering-Plough) for
a few years on some large projects, (systems analyst), I had the
same kind of experiences there. No different. Conspiracy is
nearly impossible in large organizations, no matter how cozy the
higher ups are with each other.
Anyway, the VA does the worst surgeries. They used a vaginal
mesh for his hernia. Totally wrong usage for it. The thing
floated around 'til his intestines were popping out again. Took
him a year to get dentures after getting his teeth pulled - they
promised him a much shorter time than that.
