Did they get a copy of the Death Book with their diagnosis?

Not funny.. but funny strange
this story comes out after the VA starts to distribute the “end of life” document that was banned under the Bush Administration that Obama has now allowed to start being distributed.

Don't you wish we could all be placed in a government run system like this one?

Don't you wish we could all be placed in a government run system like this one? It'll be 100% fatal to everyone in it.

I wouldn’t wish ALS on anyone. You basically turn into nothing.

And the left keeps using the VA hospitals as an example of perfect government health care.

Turn into nothing on the OUTSIDE... but the part of you that MAKES you ...YOU.. doesn’t change until the very end.

My late husband was told by the VA that he had stomach cancer. He was terrified, as someone he knew had just died from it, only a few months after diagnosis.
Turns out he had an ulcer.
For many, many reasons, I would not trust the care of my loved one to the VA.

Hopefully none of them ate their gun after the news. The urge to do so would be strong, especially if you have ever seen anyone die from this terrible disease. Gradual paralysis, eventually just lying in bed unable to speak but you can tell they are still in their by looking at their eyes. Simply an awful way to die and these dumb a**es tell 1200 people they have it!

That was my very first thought. Just imagine the hopelessness those folks must have felt.

My Mother passed away from ALS in March 2008. She went relatively quick, only 2.5 years. I know another guy that lingered for 9 years. His last working muscle that he controlled was one eyelid. He communicated with that one eyelid. He finally asked to be taken off of a breather and feeding tube.

My dad went to the VA for a checkup...did all the tests on his prostate...but he never was told he had cancer...until four years after the fact..by this time he was at stage 4...I wouldn’t trust the VA either....
