Records of dead veterans were changed to hide how many people died while awaiting care at Phoenix VA hospital, whistle-blower tells CNN.

Records of dead veterans were changed or physically altered, some even in recent weeks, to hide how many people died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA hospital, a whistle-blower told CNN in stunning revelations that point to a new coverup in the ongoing VA scandal.

"Deceased" notes on files were removed to make statistics look better, so veterans would not be counted as having died while waiting for care, Pauline DeWenter said.

It happens on active duty and dependents as well. They did it to my wife in an Army hospital.

They were going to let her die, she heard them say it. Fortunately a local doctor (overseas) stepped in and saved her life.

She didn’t tell me until we were out of the country or the doctor would have left in a box.
