New Allegation Of Patient Deaths At Miami VA [Obamacare Management in Cover up mode]

In February, a cardiovascular surgeon at the Miami VA hospital complained to one of his superiors that “patients had died” because a piece of equipment that might have saved their lives was left in a Broward warehouse, according to an email obtained by CBS4 News.

The February 27 email was sent by Dr. Tomer Karas to the VA’s chief of surgery Dr. Seth Spector. In the email, Karas complained about a device known as the TandemHeart – which keeps blood following during certain sensitive procedures.

Jim DeFede is not a "token conservative" at CBS. He is a liberal. And CBS in Miami is OWNED by the network. I am frankly amazed that the station is doing this story...though I will note that it has not really tied Obama to this scandal--they are still in the tank for Obama, no doubt.

Reached by phone, Karas acknowledged writing the email but said VA policy prevented him from speaking without the approval of his superiors.

The VA’s public affairs office then refused to allow Karas to answer any questions. They also refused the station’s request to speak to doctors Spector and Alfonso.

CBS4 News requested interviews with the hospital’s chief administrator, Paul Russo, and its chief of staff, Dr. Vincent DeGennaro – those requests were denied as well.

REFUSING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS...TRYING TO GET THEIR STORY STRAIGHT BEFORE THEY GO OUT AND LIE TO THE MEDIA.

Just did a search of the other stations in Miami...wondering if they did anything on the “VA Miami” story...here are the results:

ABC, WPLG-TV: NOTHING

NBC, WTVG-TV: NOTHING

FOX, WSVN-TV: NOTHING local, but they did have a “Fox News” story on their web site.

Media bias.

No physical evidence yet, but it would be an extremely safe wager.
