The title is kind of a click bait, but recently the Department of Veterans Affairs published an investigative review of the OKC VA Hospital.
For the record, I was there today, with my wife who was there for the first time with me. She was shocked at the number of people EVERYWHERE. Crowded hallways, wait times at the elevator, and the GAWDAMM PARKING!! etc. Code Blue for the rapid response team in the parking lot this morning. Heart issues waiting on a parking spot?
Other than one incident that was resolved by a patient advocate, I have had great care there with less wait time than our family Doctor.
This isn't a thread by me to bash the VA in OKC, only as an informational link to what is happening, has happened, and what they are doing to correct it.
I have not read the entire document yet, but here is a link, as its too long to post:

I get news letters from Senator Lankford, and others and this was Their take on it.
