Removing those doctors-in-training happened on April 1, according to Dock Voorhies, who chairs a VAMC retiree group. I wondered if it was an April Fools joke, Voorhies said,
But he says he confirmed the move when he spoke with LSU Health Shreveport s Interim Chancellor Dr. David Lewis on Monday evening. Voorhies says he s concerned about the care of the sickest of our sick veterans. They need close observation. They need somebody who is there and available to intervene as their medical condition changes, Voorhies said.
Voorhies is also a former social worker and chaplain at OBVAMC. He says the medical residents provide round the clock diagnoses and provide treatments under the supervision of a doctor.
A suspicious package was discovered Wednesday afternoon at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport.
At around 3 p.m. mailroom employees discovered a suspicious package that was leaking an unknown liquid substance. VA Police was notified and moved the package to a safe location.
The Shreveport Fire Department and Police Department were asked to respond in efforts to contain the suspicious package.
After an hour of investigating the package authorities determined the package and its contents were harmless.
With the efforts of all three departments safety of the veterans, staff, and visitors were at the highest priority.
VA Medical Center said, We thank our mailroom staff for their alertness and our VA Police for their quick response, to include local authorities.
