Committee, i appreciate the opportunity to discuss Va Mental Health care, and i certainly want to acknowledge the loss and the courage of these family membe members, ensuring that this wasnt in vain, and i struggle with the severity of the stories. As an infantryman who lost so many in the iraq war and injured and struggled with the loss of suicide from chronic pain and other injuries, i just thank you all for being here. My experience with the Va Health Care system began in 2008. Sorry. Its okay, youve got plenty of time.

Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I cant thank you enough for being here today, the sacrifices that you have made. I pray that the sacrifices that you and your entire family made will make us a better nation at the end of the day. I think most that sign up to serve have that intention, that they will make this a better nation at the end of the day. I am a physician and also a reservist and i served in iraq for a year. That has led me to want to be here today. One of the things i know as a doctor and im sure dr. Somers you can relate, that when you have patients, regardless of their problems, there is a level of anxiety that, because they have something wrong, whether its muscular, skeletal or mental, it doesnt matter. Something is wrong and there is anxiety. It makes it more difficult and heightens the anxiety when you have all these administrative problems. I know you started to deal with that in private practice. More so maybe than when you first started. The prescription ....

Email from a Fourth Amendment perspective in part that he feared if it doesnt count that should eliminate the protection of privacy. That is, to the extent we a lhaa lot of robots looking at our email to scan it for viruses or to service ads or whatever, if that counts and weve agreed to that or otherwise have allowed that, that could mean we have given up our overall interpretation of privacy in those communications. I fear that toxin was killing the Fourth Amendment to save it. I think im more concerned about the parables that come from government surveillance than private surveillance and i think our allowing that kind of behavior does not eliminate protection of privacy, and we have enough cases saying that that i feel comfortable. But its not that easy. It gets to the automation rationale which is the case where smithfield, maryland said we do not have enough cases t ....

Blowers complaints seriously. Within vha, the problem of intimidation, retaliation may be magnified by what some consider a protective culture of the medical profession. It is often thought to be against the code to point out colleagues mistakes or where a nurse or a tendant is told it is appropriate to question a physician or surgeon. The natural tendency is to close ranks, to not die that problems exist or mirs stestakes were ma. So after we listen to the testimony before us this evening from the whistle blowers, the office of special counsel and the va will anything change after we hear what the whistle blowers have to say and how do we fix this culture and encourage all va employees to step forward to identify problems and work to address the problems. Changing a culture is not easy. It cannot be done legislatively or 33inthrowing additional resos at it. Talk is cheap. Real solutions are hard to find. It is clear to me that the va as it is structured today is fundamentally incapabl ....
