This is the situation now at VA hospitals all over the country after DOGE cuts and firings. This admin does not give a shit about veterans! #FuckDOGE #FuckMAGA #ProtectVeterans #VeteransDeserveBetter
"In a Boston V.A. hospital, six social workers are conducting phone and telehealth visits with veterans from a single, crowded room, clinicians say. In Kansas City, providers are planning patient care while facing each other across narrow, cafeteria-style tables in a large, open space, according to staff members.

And in South Florida, psychiatric nurses have been treating veterans with mental health conditions in a hallway near a bathroom, sitting down with them in a makeshift medical bay jury-rigged out of filing cabinets and a translucent screen.

“People walking by can hear everything that’s going on,” said Bill Frogameni, an acute care psychiatric nurse at the Miami V.A. hospital referring to the patient intake setup in a V.A. outpatient facility in Homestead, Fla., outside Miami."
