Inadequate Care from Veteran's Authority

[Gulskjegg]

The point would be establishing your qualification to comment on the question I originally posed. Were you in possession of a training certificate from an organization such as the National Veterans Legal Services Program, such as the one I have, your comments would have some validity. This may not be the case.

Regardless, the discussion is no longer about me, the discussion is now about you. Or, more specifically www.expertlaw.com. You claim to be an "LEO", with the assumption being that you are sworn officer of some kind.

Now, the training I have as a private investigator clearly and unequivocally states that any investigator with knowledge of a crime, in this case a "class 6 felony", must report said crime to the proper authorities...immediately. The gentleman that imparted this training has been a PI for 30+ years, so we can safely assume he knows the rules. Therefore you must report this felony, or what you believe to be a felony, to the Department of Veterans Affairs Police.

The VA Police can be reached at (540) 982-2463, and yes they are on duty 24/7. Upon posting this reply, I will save this conversation as a PDF and begin preparing my report to www.veteranstoday.com and other veterans specific news outlets.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

This is absolutely inane if you think that an anonymous posting on the internet is enough information to report a crime. Second, there is no compulstion to report any crime to the VA police when such a crime has occurred outside of their jurisdiction that being a BK not located on federal property and not concerning a federal matter. Just because a federal informant was involved does not make it the jursidiction of the VA police. The VSP or local authorities would be contacted, but I'm not going to waste time forwarding such a ridiculous report.

My creditials are not the question, I answered your post concerning possible litigation with the VA over what you claim are medical malpractice issues. They clearly are not as I have alluded to in previous posts. I am not required to provide any creditials, nor provide proof thereof, when responding to posts on this forum. My information, and any information, is free of charge and based solely on the providers knowledge and understanding of the issue at hand. The terms of use clearly go over this, feel free to review them.

Have fun with the article. Hopefully you'll write that after posting a question on this forum you recieved an educated response based on the statutory language, legal theory and legal precedence.

I had hoped that you would would address the concept of jurisdiction, and you have done so. This demonstrates that, at some level, you understand the concept. Thank you.

You have no training and in my estimation very little experience in 38 C.F.R. yet you comment on the subject in a manner far in excess of your actual ability.

Worse still, you are, by the very definition of this website, a "Senior Member".

Without going into too much detail, here is my suggestion to you. If you are not truly knowledgeable on a topic (and no, Google does not count) you should consider refraining from commenting.

You are, overall, a exceptionally poor reflection on the quality of this website. Do us all a favor and stay with areas more suited to your level of skill. Maybe writing parking tickets.

Thank you for your comments. I have a better understanding of the capacity of www.expertlaw.com due to you. I will advise my associates of my findings shortly. Good day.

I commented on 38 CFR based on the language and concept of the statute. If you have a different view of the statute then please bring to light your objections and state your point of view. You have failed to offer any argument against the legal opinions that I have posted, please feel free to provide some. I am a senior member because I have belonged to the forum for some time and have attempted to answer all of the postings based on my understanding, knowledge and facts of the legal issues at hand. Occasionally I have disagreed with other senior members of this board, but that is the wonderful thing about the law. There are many gray areas open to interpretation.

IMO you have been slighted by the VA, which you have evidence of. However, instead of working to resolve the issue you have attacked the instituation and are now suprised that the system is no longer willing to bend over backwards to help you. It seems that you are attempting to drum up support for your lawsuit for self promotion or financial gain and the information that I provided is contrary to your self determined ideas.

If you feel that I have stated something that is incorrect, please feel free to provide your opinion on the matter, preferrably backed with statutory language or case precedence.

Attempting to attack me, this board, or any member postings which are an attempt to provide advice is petty.

How is it that the VA can be responsible for medical malpractive without seeing you? If the condition was life threatening then you should have reported to a local hospital for treatment. While there are federal laws detailing the treatment of veterans, the failure to treat would not be malpractice.



I fail to see how the incident at the Burger King is relevant. The person was holding a conversation with another party about his position with the VA. He was not harassing you, barring you from going about your business, or anything else "dirty". According to Virginia 19.2-62, the state is a "one party state" which means that one person involved in the conversation must consent to any recording of a private conversation. It is a class 6 felony. Even though it is a public eatery, there is not sound recording devices present, nor would a reasonable person assume through the natural course of the business that such would be present, the persons would have an expectation of privacy to their conversation against unlawful recording.

My problem with your situation is that the VA is an underfunded and often unappreciated system. Instead of working with the VA to help streamline the process to minimize mistakes, you are activily causing a problem and slowing down the process for the rest of us. It was great that you were able to point out the problem that you experience with the VA system, but change does not happen overnight and often requires veterans to work with the VA to help correct it. All I can see is you antagonizing the system which creates a hardship for the rest of us. By "us" I mean other disabiled vets such as myself.

I am sure he shows up in that VA system's patient database. That alone should qualify him as being under their care. There is a duty to treat.
