True story.
Family friend, former room mate of my wife, was a VA nurse in Florida. She was caught steeling meds and using them. She was allowed to go to treatment at $50k was reinstated and later went on full government disability pension for several thousand dollars a month.
Your government at work!
She probably got off because her problem went higher than her.
Prosecuting her case would let lots of worms out of the can.
So she took a little ‘time out’.
If she writes a handbook on how that works, a lot of us retired veteran’s could use a cost of living allowance:)
