The entire text of the VA Murder
Doc story is posted elsewhere on this FORUM page under VA Officials Betraying Veterans. But as an excerpt from that compelling news story, we enter here in our VFJ Halls of Human Torture by the VA system, Air Force Veteran James DiGeorgia from Troy, New York. James was elderly and sick when he entered the VA Hospital in Albany, New York. What he got next was every medical patients nightmare and his family to this day is still eating the pain from it. A VA hospital employee using fake credentials and phoney academic papers passing himself off as a doctor, was staffing the VA's Cancer Care and Research Program. He proceded to pressure sick patients to enter research programs and clinical trials, and even later on, deliberately falsified such things as EKG reports just to name one of the very patients that VA Murder Doc Paul Kornak was trying to coerce into recruitment. Veteran James DiGeorgia is no longer with us because of the criminal charades of this VA employee who is now serving a measely 6 year prison sentence for his deeds. If ya ever wanted to know what the value is on the human life of a Veteran in Albany NY, then there is your measure right there -- a stinking 6 years, and YES the judge was himself an Army veteran. Go Figure !! We've seen it all before here in Albany so it's old news to those of us who live it every day. We can only imagine the suffering and pain that Veteran DiGeorgio went through prior to his death at the hands of this VA Rat Squad which was then facilitated and assisted by the entire New York State law enforcement community to boot. The VA Murder Doc case is a call to action for Veterans everywhere to know just how Missing In Action the police and prosecutors are inside this VA system at both the Hospital level and the Regional claims offices as well. Even when there is mass death on their hands, the FBI itself sits on their dumb asses with nothing but Stupid all over their faces and shuffles out a brick wall of excuses why nobody can do anything. Eventually the arrests were made over their own objections, but it took the entire news media industry to force them into it. Rarely do individual Vet cases ever rise to the level of getting news media publicity to force either the VA or the police into doing their jobs in the first place. The Nuremburg Code from Nazi Germany was argued by lawyers representing James DiGeorgio's family at the court hearings, to give you some idea of the torture this man went through. We hope by accumulating and documenting these stories in this particular FORUM, that Veterans and Activists will come to see the wisdom of the Vets for Justice national platform for advocacy. We hope it will also shed some light on the fact that neither PTSD nor bums in the homeless shelters are really any kind of a pressing priority at all in our Veterans population, but instead, the real issue at hand is the utter and complete absence of police and prosecutor authorities to accept, receive, process, investigate, and rule upon regular law enforcement services to Veterans just like any other equal member of the state and local communities. We enter Air Force Veteran James DiGeorgia into this hall of sadness and shame, but his life was not in vain nor was his passing. He leaves behind those of us who can remember and still carry his story as the poster boy outcry for Justice to all Veterans everywhere hopelessly trapped inside this stinking VA system.

I am very sorry about your dad's suffering and imjustice that he had been faced with. The VA is stabbing many veterans in the back and unfortunately the color of a veterans skin plays a major role in how vets are to be treated. I have learned the hard way that there is no justice for abused vets. All offices of the VA promote abuse ande neglect of vets at VA Hospitals and the Office of the Inspector General is one of the very worst.
The McGuire VA Hospital in Richmond, Virginia is well known for abusing vets and those who have tried to expose them are forever paying the very high price for attempting to exercise their earned rights. The minorities are treated with the respect that they are forever demanding and many white vets cannot even get appointments due to clinics being filled with minority patients. The Hospital staff cover up abuse and mismanagement when a local TV station makes an effort to do a story on them and then that's the end of it. I had written President Bush numerous letters begging him for help due to abuse, retaliation, harassment, sexual harassment, intimidatin, and having to beg for medical care. I had received one response from him stating, "We living in changing times and there isn't anything else I can do for you." He had done nothing in the first place. I had contacted the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs and had been told that they no longer handle individual cases. Their attitude was exactly as expected. They should come out and be honest and say, " We only handle cases for blacks and other minorities." It's going to be a very sad and dark affair if Obama is nominated. The reversed race discrimination that is policy now will grow beyond what vets could ever expect. Your father believed in his country and served with great honor and should have been treated with the utmost respect and dignity. We all need to continue our fight for humane treatment, equal rights under the law, and justice. |

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that other than my dad's name being misspelled a couple of times your article hit to the heart of the matter.
Torture- you have no idea. The last days of dad's life was so horrible that it has haunted me and will to haunt me forever. Whatever type of justice is and will be served will not be enough. It will be 7 years the 11th of June but it feels like yesterday. My advice to anyone going through treatment is to verify your doctors credentials. Do not trust the system. Dad did---I loved my dad so much and I was heart broken with his diagnosis, but that did not compare to watching him die like he did. Of course I emailed president Busch on this matter and received no response. Our veterans put lives on the line everyday, they need to feel safe at home. June with dad's death, father's day and dad's birthday the 23rd is a month I dread every year. Be safe and I thank every veteran past and current for all you have done for us. Keep dad in your minds, he died a horrible death, but he died a hero. Congress finally acted on hiring practices. It came to late for dad, but may help someone else. Take Care, be safe, Mary |
