The recent headlines about the
Walter Reed Hospital scandal has done a lot to raise public awareness on the very way in which commander incompetence and beancounter terrorists overpower the interests of federal medical patients who are inside the Dept. of Defense system. As a secondary subject, and Oh By The Way, the VA was also highlighted in the scandal but only to the erroneous limits (once again) of facilities and hospital care. Ya gotta wonder why they always draw the line at that same quitting point time and time again in the news media. There does not seem to be a single news reporter in the United States who is capable of making the corruption and abuses of the VA disability system [ i.e. the VA Comp & Pen system ] front and center into a headline of it's very own. So close, but yet so far away as this missed-target continues to be ignored by headline news. Go figure. To that end, advocates should start elevating this matter into the national debate because almost nothing coming out of Congress is ever on target or even comes close to fixing the many layers of the VA problems which Veterans are forced to sit through year after year. The first thing we all have to get on the same page with is the idea that the VA disability system is heavily rooted in the crime scheme theories of patient exploitation. Out of that patient exploitation, comes the premature deaths of sicker Veterans as well as preventable suicides from those who are unable to withstand the emotional pressures which comes with the moment of realization they are suddenly finding themselves caught up in a federal agencyh fraud scheme with no hope of a rescue. Patient abuse, patient neglect, and patient exploitation are 3 separate terms of law. The Walter Reed scandal was an exercise in patient neglect. Advocats do have to start learning these 3 terms of law and using them in our national VA disability debate. The Maryland state Attorney General's office has published an academic paper sorting out the distinctions between all 3 terms of law at: http://www.oag.state.md.us/Healthpol/alzchap8.pdf They are summarized as follows: patient abuse: physical injury to a patient as a result of cruel or inhumane treatment. [sure sounds like the VA disability system to ME, how about you?] patient neglect willful deprivation of adequate food, clothing, medical treatment, shelter or supervision. patient exploitation misuse of patients funds, property, or person. [ yeah baby, the VA's name is all over this one!] It has been a widely known VA practice to put some patient front and center who barely has a brain in his head and functions much like a wind-up toy inside of a hospital environment, and to have that very guy be the national Icon and "verifier" of how just wonderful the VA system really is. We have all seen it and how many of us have squirmed in our chairs when we did? In the meantime, the other 25 million Veterans and patients never receive equal airtime to state the other side of that thought, in the many VA propaganda magazines and website pages they put out which invokes our names. So it is here we can find a "misuse of person" in the VA patient exploitation system. The VA disability system is a stacked crime syndicate which is heavily orchestrated to deny or interrupt the proper military Comp & Pen benefits which are due to Veterans as a promised contractual feature of their military service, combat or not. And once we put that definition into slow motion under a microscope, it becomes clearer that the test of this truth has been met. Falsification of VA ruling documents in Veterans disability claims takes on a wide range of systemmic applications. One of the most common is for incompetent and malpracticed VA or DOD physicians to portray on paper that a Veteran with a valid physical injury is actually a psychiatric case. Once that falsification is set into motion, may the Veteran be dammed if he or she then later on requires surgery for their psychiatric problem. It is here that VA ruling document falsification really kicks into WARP mode to further hide and conceal the fact they had falsified the case into a psychiatric case when it was a physical medicine case all along. And by reason of the mere numbers of them across the agency itself verses the oneness of a single Veteran medical patient, it's usually the Veteran who comes out the loser and is overpowered by the total weight of the system. The falsifications are not only left in place, but then overwritten by some 20 other brand new other falsifications which are brought in to hide and confuse the original truths of the Veterans situation. Another popular adjudicator falsification is to simply bungle and rewrite the patient's entire life story to a point of where the adjudicators are no longer even talking about a living person anymore. We like to call this the "identity theft" approach. Just make up your very own new Veteran from La La Land and send it to the guys address who made out his disability application. Clever, don't ya think?? Or how about just not processing the case for some 3 to 4 years, and then when they do, by that time the Veterans medical condition has changed for the worst and now what the VA has ruled does not even apply to the new deteriorations of the Veterans health. Such as a case where a Veteran is first denied a claim for a cancer biopsy which shows to be benign, and now in the 3 year delay of the VA to provide the ruling, now the Veteran has a change into full blown cancer. What's up with THAT ?? And when all else fails, the VA adjudicators can just sit around all day and use the new and material evidence rule to block the Veterans every demand for a correction in his or her C-File papers, until the Veteran just plain eventually dies of their medical condition or otherwise checks out voluntarily from the strains of corruption and incompetence which is victimizing them. Or how about falsification of rulings or just plain carte blanche denials of rulings from the hands of those who are just plain illiterate and dumb and holding the VA adjudicators title?? Claims denied by reason of adjudicator-dumb is not a rare incident out here for sure. But you will also notice, that adjudicator-dumb never but Never falls in the favor of Veterans. Did ya notice that?? And here is another all time VA favorite: first grant the Veteran a 100% disability rating, then wait 5 years, then take it away from him and insist he pay it all back! That's a VA oldie but goodie that Veterans have lived with since the 1980's. The entire VA disability system has a chronic and recurring goal, year in and year out, of depriving medical patients whatever they can for that particular year, whether it's adequate shelter or adequate medical care, or adequate supervision. You name it, the VA will threaten to take it and probably murders a sizeable number of medical patients just through the deluge of ongoing cutoff threats. [patient neglect]. And they have another goal to misuse the Veterans as patients for VA publishing propaganda purposes, and to either prevent or take away their funds or disability incomes, or threaten to illegally seize their properties such as their homes under VA mortgages just because the mood strikes them for that particular day. [patient exploitation] And when all else fails, the VA will just create a situation inside the VA Hospitals by hook or by crook, to find a way to aggravate the mental strain side of a Veterans life until such time that he or she has a stroke and dies. Murder by bureacracy and deliberately inflicted worry. [ patient abuse ] Patient exploitation is illegal in most all states, while in some states, the laws are sometimes buried only in nursing home laws instead of general hospital and public health laws. The federal government does not appear to have an anti-exploitation law. The VA does have a hospital Patient Rights under 38 CFR 17.33 which we have sought to revise and make more specific and complete. For now it makes very little distinctions across the 3 terms of law, nor does it go far enough to extend to verified disabled outpatients who are trapped for entire lifetimes on perpetual appeals one after another as they grow straight into their senior years as I have myself. Today's Veterans Advocates really do have to bump up their games on the national VA disability debate now, and to start using the much more applicable and stronger terms of malpractice, crime scheme, human torture, patient abuse, patient neglect, and patient exploitation. The way that both Congress and the VA agency have been skating past public scrutiny on this whole subject has been to simply "rephrase" everything into much more acceptable polite speech. Don't let them do it anymore. It's kinda like right up there with renaming a "sick bastard who wants to have sex with little children" into the name "pedophile". The name pedophile is much more kinder and polite, and suggests to the listener "what's all the fuss about" when using it in debating language. When the conversation is all done, the debate is numb with politeness and the sense of crisis and emergency is somehow lost in all the politeness. If each time they were forced to say the words "sick bastard who wants to have sex with children", then those debates would be over with and outta here in a New York Minute !! So don't let them rephrase anything on this VA disability subject for you. Start forcing the words into their mouths "Oh ya mean the VA disability system who inflicts patient abuse and neglect and exploitation on the sick Veterans???" Once the Advocates start forcing the uglier side of language into this totally cruel and inhumane subject, just stand back and watch how fast they can all run away from TV cameras and propaganda website releases. That will be the moment when the legislative Bills become stunningly effective. Sue Frasier, VEV 1970 Army Signal Corps national activist/protester staff Blogger, VFJ |
