Want to know why I ignored it?
Because it has nothing to do with this discussion, and not much to do with any other discussion of general VA conditions or funding.
A single--as in ONE--pyschiatrist screwed up, and was disciplined for it by the VA.
That's the entire news story. The rest is just people screeching about it.
No rational person could use this to draw a global conclusion about VA funding levels, or even the general behavior of all VA psychiatrists.
Not surprised that the usual activists tried though.
