My son is a Veteran of the United States Army. He went to the #VA in Salt Lake City yesterday. This was the condition of the room he was seen in. Very unprofessional, unsanitary and disrespectful. Please retweet. Maybe will see it.

.My son is not diabetic nor was he in the VA for a cast. Diabetic ulcers by definition are open wounds. IMHO Chris was put at RISK by giving him injections in this dirty room. COS Dr Gribbin didn’t know the policies? That’s the shameless way she’s responded.
They should fire all the doctors. And nurses and staff. That’ll teach em. Then turn the place into, I dunno, Starbucks?

absolutely was! Good for you for getting this out, your son deserves more from it’s healthcare. He risked his life for our freedom and he shouldn’t have to continue to risk his life for insufficient healthcare!!! EVERYONE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED

As a VA nurse I find this very upsetting. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES TO PLACE PATIENTS IN THIS DIRTY ENVIRONMENT!! Those instruments are to be thrown away after one use or sent to be sterilized by central processing. The nurse Dr and EMS worker should be fired.

And the cleaning staff. Especially the nurse though. And the nurse manager. And the allied health professionals that work on the unit. Fire them all without reprimanding or retraining first. Skilled health workers grow on trees, after all.

Totally unacceptable and I applaud the pictures. The VA needs to be held accountable. But the gangrene comments, injections in a dirty room and veterans choice are complete and utter bullshit, stop propagating nonsense. Combat medicine is much more ugly and less sanitary.

You'd be a fool if not a damned fool to think this doesn't happen in civilian hospitals. This isn't just a "VA" problem. It's unacceptable anywhere and just stop with the political bullshit.
That’s disgusting. I would however be remiss if I didn’t stick up for the . As a darn near full time patient there who’s logged a lot of time in a lot of hospital I have to say that’d never happen there.

Didn’t know the policies? Policies be damned, that’s just not sanitary and ANY doctor should know that. Disgraceful.
