There would be no reason to stint those lesions. Thank you. Doctor mitchell, since you blew the whistle at the va scandal, has anything changed in phoenix in your view . Now patients are being scheduled or being referred to choice. The problem is that there is a delay in the community of getting choice apartmentst appointments scheduled. Retaliation is alive and well and i have many friends within the phoenix va scared to speak up, and they call me and i reported them and i try to assist them so they can address them without suffering re retaliation retaliation. Thank you. Dr. Knee, if somebody is Walking Around with 11 stints in their heart, what is likely to happen . Well, i mean, again its difficult. Its based on every patient and it would depend on why stints were placed there in the first place, and some have multiple stints and would require bypass surgery. They need to make sure that the patients are informed if they receive something they should not have because you can be on m
It is critical. Your first 30 days on the ground, you are just trying to figure out where you are, how things are operating, where the threats are. We absolutely concur with that recommendation of taking steps to ensure that the personnel we put on the ground are there for longer periods of time. And has the department been able to achieve those requirements in its practice . Yes, it has. The fact is we dont actually have any temporary facilities at the moment.

Idealistic effort by a young senator from illinois who we were both right to believe would achieve greatness. I have had the opportunity to serve in your distinguished cabinet and worked with a white house chief of Staff White House staff ably led by denis mcdonough. Den has done much to make real the promise of our democracy. And each of the men and women i have come to know will be lifelong friends. Whatever my accomplishments, they could not have been achieved without the love, support and guidance of two people who are not with me here today, my parents nurtured and my accomplished brother william and made us believe in the value of individual effort and the greatness of this nation. My time in public service, which now comes to an end, would not have been possible without the sacrifices, too often unfair, made by the best three kids a father could ask for. Thank you maya, thank you brooke, and thank you clay. And finally, i want to thank the woman who sacrificed the most and allow
Friday night for a couple hours and welcomed the director of the hartford Va Regional Office as well as the director of the Va Connected Health care system to listen to our veterans, and not just about the delays, but the more fundamental gaps in care that we have right now that we are all working hard to fill. Just one example, k. Robert lewis, a veteran Service Officer from the veterans of foreign wars, shared with the audience very compellingly his understanding that many veterans with the vfw has received outstanding service, but that there is a lack of providers, nurses, doctors, staff that have caused the delays and hindered veterans access to care. I know that the veterans access to care act authorized 5 billion to enable the va to hire Additional Health care providers and clinical staff, but secretary mcdonald, you have identified the practical obstacles to meeting the needs and hiring more doctors and other professionals, and that is one of the central challenges of our time,
