Let me tell you this for a fact, as someone who was a care taker for over 4 years at the VA, visiting them half the time, and someone who has spoken to many vets:
There are more doctors that keep patience in a state of need due to their greed for their department. The busiest place at my local VA was the podiatrist, why? I saw first hand some of their tactics at various departments and their arrogance when I tried to rectify the situation in a short and concise manor. Most vets do not realize what some of them are actually doing with their meds too. The problem is the VA administration, the VA cops that protect dirty doctors that murder our vets, then it is the actual vets.
