Just heard my local talk radio host is AF vet said a veteran committed suicide in a VA hospital waiting room today, don't know any more. He may be the one who had a botched brain surgery by an unqualified brain surgeon they hired (and later fired) I think that might have been Iowa City. May or may not be related to the same patient.

He broke the news about the firing of the head.

St Louis VA Hospital waiting room. No details were given. Many of these recent suicides are related to the 3 month early drop of Pain Meds. Some were not even Weaned off, just cut off. Many ended up bedridden or in wheelchairs as a result. We are still in 2 WARS and war wounds can be a life of PAIN, for a young Vet as well as older Vets with health problems.

This former Marine tried Suing his US Rep Phil Roe, they told him he had to SUE the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! The VA hospital in this area of TN is horrible, as is the 1 in Memphis.
