“Like other hospital systems, VA isn’t immune from fatal human error. But what the department does seem to be immune from is meaningful accountability.”-Jeff Miller, State Representative of the House Committee on Veteran’s Affairs

“The office of the Inspector General released a report on an investigation they performed in May of 2013 on three deaths that occurred in our emergency department over one year ago. The physician involved in the care of two of the patients referenced in the report no longer works at our medical center.”-Christopher Marino, Memphis VA Medical Center Chief of Staffs
