Govt medicine continues to demonstrate it’s for the good of the people...

Under rules for claims against the government, the Navy — which staffs the Capitol’s Office of the Attending Physician — has six months to respond to LaTourette’s claims, which were filed earlier this month. If the claims are denied, LaTourette and his wife Jennifer can file a lawsuit.

LaTourette was first elected in the GOP wave of 1994 but was generally regarded as a moderate. He was a supporter of infrastructure spending, Amtrak and congressional set-asides known as earmarks. When he announced his retirement, LaTourette said he was sick of the partisanship that had taken over Congress.

Pancreatic cancer is especially deadly. LaTourette’s court papers say his “prognosis is uncertain but grave, with no definitive predictions regard to life expectancy.”

You’re an idiot to not read results yourself. My a-hole doctor routinely leaves out important information.

[cripplecreek]

they failed to pass along critical information about a lesion on the organ and the need for follow-up monitoring.

Kind of what happened with my grandmother. He basically took it upon himself to decide that at her age she wouldn't live long anyway so there was no point in worrying her with the possibility it was cancer.

Despite its problems, the VA has been a lot more effective. It is terminal cancer but they have kept her alive for another 5 years in relative comfort. She doesn't have much longer but she is still able to live at home.

When most people get a procedure done if they dont hear back from the Dr with results they call and ask for a full copy of the report. Its called personal responsibility. Quite frankly he is lucky to still be alive at this point, pancreatic cancer is usually a swift and painful death

Didn’t realize that the Dems controlled the doctors on Capitol Hill, but it does make sense that they might.

“LaTourette received his medical care from the Capitol physician over his 18-year congressional career”

It took him 18 yrs to realize that he wasn’t a great Dr?
