VA hospital in CO taking calls to see if they are open and attending to vet patients My son, an Iraqi vet, had shoulder pain from work. He and I went to the VA emergency room. He was allowed in but I was not. He texted me that vet were calling the emergency room desk to see if they were open to see a doctor for various reasons. They directed all these callers to local hospitals. Now the VA is run by the government, hospitals are run by corporations. One is of no cost directly to the vet, the other has inflated their prices to charge the government as well as generate more false covid-19 numbers. While waiting for my son to get looked at by a doctor (4 1/2 hours with less than 5 people waiting with him), I got into a conversation with a vet outside the VA. He was just released a couple of hours ago from the psyche ward. Is the VA releasing psychologically questionable people while these same demoncrap states are releasing criminals in droves? He had no where to go, was just going to find a cozy place outside to sleep. Very incoherent discussion ensued.
