Whistle-blower says VA ignored data that could have helped suicidal, sick veterans


www.foxnews. com
What particularly distressed Coughlin, though, was the VA's lack of action regarding veterans who had indicated on study questionnaires that they were considering suicide. Two-thousand respondents said that they felt "they would be better off dead." According to Coughlin, in 95 percent of those cases, the VA did nothing to follow up. While the VA says it has no evidence that any study participants subsequently committed suicide, Coughlin is certain that people did take their lives.

I've been to the Wade Park facility (It's actually pretty nice) and you are correct. It's pretty depressing though.

Many Veterans volunteers giving their time to help out the WW2, Korean and Vietnam Vets. All of them knowing that their time will come soon enough as well.

Many of the volunteers are also disabled as well, but are more mobile than others, so they help where they can.

It brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.
