The flaws in the US based military centers can be placed on licensed professionals or the politicians, your choice. VA facilities are all ruled by civilian law and practice. I was the inspector on the VA hospital in Port Charlotte and it was a STATE project. (or I would not have been there) Sorry, I don't believe that the reason returning vets with serious physical and emotional problems are not treated properly by veterans hospitals is because of "civilian law and practice." Oh, and "non-licensed" medical practitioners should be severely limited as to what they are allowed to do on U.S. soil in medical or related fields. You really are a fan of the home hobbyist approach. If you ever need a stent, I hope you find the right non-licensed, non-doctor Army/Navy/Air Force tech to perform the surgery for you. We are not talking about a stent or open heart surgery here. If I just need a few stitches or some other kind of emergency care I would be perfectly happy with a guy who was patching up marines, injured in combat as I would some guy who went to a Guatemala medical school and got licensed here. ---------------------------------------- Notes to self: If you happen to be in a restaurant and notice Harry choking, do *not* attempt the Heimlich maneuver. (you are not medically qualified by degree) If you happen to come upon an automobile accident and find Harry injured and bleeding, do *not* attempt to administer first aid. (you are not medically qualified by degree) If you happen to see Harry suddenly clutch his chest and drop to the ground unconscious, do *not* attempt CPR. (you are not medically qualified by degree) Best to just leave Harry be. If you successfully save his life and he finds out you are not medically qualified by degree, he'll probably sue. |
