The inspector general reports reviewed by ProPublica have limitations. The individual investigations can be narrow. The reports offer only broad suggestions as to whether individuals should be held accountable for breakdowns and provide little sense of whether they actually were. Even together, they don’t capture the full reality of the VA’s 1,300 health care facilities. But they do start to assemble a meaningful picture of the system’s most chronic shortcomings when it comes to treating people with mental illness.
I thought I was coming to grips with stuff pretty well going into my 2nd hip replacement, having recently retired from Lockheed and self-diagnosed my autism when 2019 rolled around. The girls were well on their way with the seemingly un-attainable goal of relieving all the biggest stressors in my life in the rear-view mirror. Then everything went to shyt via direct VA intervention.
No treatment lacking here – they instigated it! Then turned on the gaslight. Now I’m on some bubbles nobody ever imagined. Talk about mental health treatment, inside out. We been spending alot of time and money trying to figure out who’s insane and who’s not doing some of these mass shootings lately. Wonder if it’d make a new variant of affirmative defense in some criminal case?
