Roadsmith, I just read about Congressman McDermott and the legislation he introduced so doctors can access the medical records of the wounded soldiers after the Pentagon cut off access to them. It's good to see that someone cares and works to get things changed.
"As a doctor, psychiatrist and U.S. Navy veteran who treated combat soldiers returning from Vietnam, I am dumbfounded and outraged by the callousness of some Pentagon bureaucrats. You don't put on hold the critical and urgent need for doctors to heal the wounds of our brave soldiers who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan," McDermott said.

posted on February 26, 2007 10:59:15 AMAnd thousands of others just like this man:
WASHINGTON — The suicide of a 25-year-old Iraq war veteran has revived questions over how long returning troops are having to wait for treatment from Veterans Affairs hospitals for post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems.
"We're hearing of too many cases of waiting lists — particularly involving cases of post-traumatic stress disorder," said Rep. Michael Michaud, D-Maine, chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health.
"I'm not going to take a shot at the administration or the Democrats, it's just a problem that needs to be fixed, it's an American problem," said Larry Provost, an Army reservist who was given a two-month wait for an appointment to address his own PTSD.
Since 2002, tens of thousands of returning veterans have been treated for symptoms of the emotional disorder, brought on by the traumas of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Acknowledging the need for additional facilities to treat mental health, Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson announced last week that the department would be incorporating 23 new Readjustment Counseling Service Centers in the next two years. That's on top of the 209 that are already operating around the country.
"Our vet centers lead the world in helping combat veterans successfully re-adjust to life at home," said Nicholson. "It's an important service which combat veterans have earned. VA continues to expand into more communities with our vet centers to bring our services closer to the veterans who need them."
"Care is available and it's available 24/7," said Dr. Lawrence Adler, a researcher in psychiatry with the Denver VA Medical Center. Adler told FOXNews.com that returning veterans' mental health is a top priority and the vet centers are providing critical care for veterans and their families facing re-adjustment and substance abuse issues.
But that is not placating the family of Marine Jonathan Schulze, who hanged himself Jan 16. His family says four days earlier, Schulze had called doctors at the veteran's hospital in St. Cloud, Minn., and told them he was suicidal. They told The Associated Press that he was turned away on account of a waiting list for beds at the hospital.
As a rule, the VA does not put off veterans with suicidal tendencies, say VA officials. The Minnesota hospital would not comment directly on the claim, but officials say beds in their psychiatric unit do not have a waiting list.
Currently, 21 veterans are on a waiting list for a separate mental health residential treatment center, according to AP, which reported that the other unit is for less immediate, ongoing cases.
VA hospital records indicate that Schulze never told hospital staff he was contemplating suicide, but Schulze's father and stepmother insist they heard Jonathan tell hospital staff over the phone that he was suicidal. They say he told them he was informed he was 26th in line for a bed.
According to his stepmother, a day before the Jan. 12 call, Schulze went to the hospital with his bags packed and requested admission, but was turned away. The case is under investigation by the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington.
The Schulzes, who opened Jonathan's records up to reporters, say they are upset the records do not reflect the severity of his case. Schulze had sought care from the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Center repeatedly since his return from a seven-month tour of duty in Iraq in 2004.
"The most disturbing part for me is their denial of Jon's suicidal condition," said Jim Schulze, a Vietnam veteran.
Tragedy Not the Rule
According to the latest VA records, out of the 205,097 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans treated by the VA since 2002, 73,157 had a potential mental disorder and 39,331 of them were tentatively diagnosed with PTSD. A March 2006 report in the Journal of American Medical Association revealed that 35 percent of returning troops from Iraq sought mental health care within a year of coming home.
This puts pressure on the system, particularly at the VA's Readjustment Counseling Service Centers, which focus on community-based counseling and outreach.
According to an October study commissioned by Democrats on the House Veterans Affairs Committee, staff at 15 of the 60 centers surveyed said they had or were contemplating limiting services or establishing waiting lists due to an increased patient load; 40 percent had sent patients to group therapy when they needed individualized treatment and 30 percent said they needed more staff.
But medical officials with the Department of Veterans Affairs question the veracity of the study. They also insist that not only do veterans who need emergency care receive it on demand, but according to 2006 data, those seeking non-immediate mental health care can get an appointment within 30 days of their request 94 percent of the time.
Dr. Ira Katz, the VA's deputy chief patient care services officer for mental health, said he is concerned that veterans will imagine the Schulze case is the norm when it is clearly not.
"Among our highest priorities nationally is addressing the need for returning veterans and we want to make that care available," Katz said. "Frankly, I'm concerned about the impact of the Minneapolis story, that it's making the point that care is not available and that a veteran killed himself over it. I don't want that to be contagious, that someone sees that and says, 'What's the use?"
Stories Differ
While advocates say the VA continues to offer superior care with compassionate staff, many veterans and their supporters say poor planning, inefficient resources and a stubborn bureaucracy has led to unnecessary service problems.
Steve Robinson, a Persian Gulf War veteran and spokesman for Veterans for America, said it is difficult to monitor actual wait times for veterans. Many advocates, having worked with veterans to help navigate the system, are dubious of the rosy VA data, he said.
"Anecdotally, we have talked to veterans who have waited 30 days to 45 days for an appointment," he said, noting that the Schulze case has shaken everyone.
Worse still, stories of suicides among Iraq and Afghanistan vets are not rare and have become a troubling outgrowth of the war on the homefront, he said.
"The biggest message I want to say besides it's a tragedy for this guy asking for help and not getting it, is there are going to be more veterans having the courage to go for help and not getting it," said Robinson. "It's the biggest betrayal, to seek the care that has been promised to you and be told to come back another day."
After doing search and rescue at Ground Zero in Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Provost, 27, who served in a civil affairs unit, was deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq. He was having a hard time adjusting when he got home and after getting help at a New York VA, went to a veteran's hospital in Virginia, where he was going to school.
He was surprised by the two-month wait.
"I was told they were overwhelmed with guys and women coming home from the war," Provost recalled. He shot to the top of the list when a local newspaper got a hold of his story.
"They felt compassion," he said of the hospital staff, "but unfortunately, the system was overloaded."
Provost, who just received a masters' degree and is looking to launch a new career regards himself as one of the "lucky ones."
Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, ranking member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said he is confident the VA is accommodating the wave of veterans with mental health issues, and believes that Congress has shown a continued commitment to putting resources where they are needed.
"The Senate and the House have added a tremendous amount of money in the past few years to improve mental health services for veterans and make certain that more care is available at more facilities closer to where our returning service members are living," he said. "We are on track to accomplish that goal and we will do even more next year."
But his colleague, Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, chairman of the panel, said he wants a thorough investigation of what happened in St. Cloud.
"I am concerned that reports of VA's failure to respond to Mr. Schulze's request for help may indicate systematic problems in VA's capacity to identify, monitor, and treat veterans who are suicidal," he said in a Jan. 29 letter to Dr. Michael J. Kussman, acting undersecretary for health at the VA.

Linda_k, amidst all of your screaming and tantrums you may have missed my c & p about the report on the mold. I didn't write it, the Washington Post reported it and they also reported the follow-up. Nor did I write the report on bleach and mold on the other link which I advise you read.
Since you find it so funny that patients are exposed to black mold and you seem to be such an expert on how to cover it up with bleach and paint you've perhaps had experience fixing it that way. The spores can still be there and can cause health problems. Two of these can be memory impairment and mood swings which you seem to drastically suffer from in recent years so just some friendly advice that you should get it checked if you have had any growing in your residence.

Again, it's YOUR mind doing the twisting about what I found/find so funny. And I'd STILL like to see a picture of it. But of course, we never will.
Of course, you have this enormous inability to grasp what I'm laughing at. And you always MISREPRESENT what I'm laughing at. tsk tsk tsk
------------
What I WAS laughing at was:
First you said:
"I previously posted the link from the Washington Post":
In Sunday's Washington Post, Dana Priest and Anne Hull described the woeful conditions of Room 205 in Walter Reed's Building 18: "Behind the door of Army Spec. Jeremy Duncan's room, part of the wall is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see the bathtub on the floor above through a rotted hole."
And you had previously stated:
"As far as 'fixing it' here is a report of them painting over mold as a quicky-fix for the tv cameras. Anyone that renovates knows that you can't just paint over mold."
Painting Over the Problems at Walter Reed's Building 18
By Dana Milbank
Friday, February 23, 2007; Page A02
It's not every day one gets to witness a whitewash in action, but Walter Reed Army Medical Center provided just such an opportunity yesterday.
The Army mobilized. Painters were deployed to cover ***the offending wall**** with a fresh coat of white semigloss. And television crews were invited in to inspect the result.
That's what I was laughing at. That you'd be so gullible to believe, and then stupid enough to say, they just 'covered it up'.
They painted [covered up] 'a torn piece of wall, full of mold' that was just 'hanging' there, huh????
Yep....I find that extremely funny.....that reads of the WA post would be so gullible they'd believe THAT nonsense.
And that's JUST what it is. WA Post - NONSENSE. They would NEVER JUST put a coat of paint on a wall in that condition. But YOU believed it and so will many other idiots that believe ANYTHING the WA Post puts in print.

Liar_k says about BUSHY's War homeless Vets.
"Not because there aren't facilities where they could stay." Hey LIAR_K the article says not enough beds or funding.
LIAR_K goes on to say about Homeless Vets. "Many are alcoholics ....drug abusers....who refuse to live in any place that has expectations of their behavior. They are fighting the world...in the sense that they want to do as they please" Sounds just like BUSHY to me LIAR_K.
I say our vets are fighting the DEMONS OF THE WORLD LIKE LIAR_K and BUSHY. Who believe sickness or mental illness has nothing to do with being HOMELESS.
Hells Bells BUSHY recognized being an alcoholic and drug abuser was a sickness but now under-funds help for his Iraq War Vets.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR THE TROOPS AND VETS SAY THE NEW-CONS LIKE LIAR_K. IN REALITY WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM LIKE IRAQ VETS LIVING ON THE STREETS, THE SAME NEW-CONS SAY EVERYBODY MAKES THEIR OWN CHOICE SO THEY DESERVE NO HELP OR FUNDING.
We should all thank LIAR_K for the look into NEW-CON thinking and rationale.

Lindak, when it was said part of the wall was torn and hanging I would think it would be part of the covering or surface of the wall so they could have ripped it off and repainted but the mold would still be underneath the paint.
Perhaps you are only focusing on one mold aspect for amusement to blind yourself from the reality of the whole situation and the well-known fact worldwide that the government almost abandons those that come home injured as they are no longer useful to them in their continual lust for war.

Now there's something I can finally agree with you about. Yes, you should. You most CERTAINLY should.
Because you and your ilk are doing nothing but posting calling people liars when they aren't lying. And of course, you can NEVER back your own lies or statements up.
You're constantly REPEATING things over and over, like a parrot - saying you're surrounding us.....when anyone who is mentally BALANCED KNOWS we're all in this together. Our enemies are NOT going to save you liberals while they murder the conservatives. Time you caught on to that FACT.
Although you and some others certainly don't come across as having the ability to KNOW that. But you've long been confused....so most here already understand that about you. tsk tsk tsk
You're most likely suffering depression because the house and the senate aren't able to do all that you THOUGHT they'd be able to do...lol lol lol
We tried to tell you...but you didn't want to listen.
And last but not least 'waco'.....you someday will come to the knowledge that NO ONE can FORCE these vets....from any war...to living somewhere they don't want to. No one can FORCE them to get help either. NO ONE CAN.
We can't force them to take their meds...[those who have mental issues - vets and non-vets]. We couldn't with the VN vets....and we won't be able to with the Iraqi vets.
I understand why you weren't willing to post the link to your newsweek article....I saw it. And it showed four beds...three VACANT. Don't want anyone to see THAT when you're trying to make a case 'there's nowhere for them to go', I'd guess.
There are places...but as other vets who are helping the vets KNOW....they have to WANT the help. Sadly, many don't.
It's a FACT 'waco'.....and you can't change the FACTS.

Another thing I want to share with those who might be interested.
That is my BIL fought in the first Iraq war. [ended in '91] He was disabled.
So when I read the articles from some liberals news sources where it says this one soldier is homeless and only gets $700. a month to live on....I DO questions the circumstances.
Why? Because disable soldiers don't JUST get their gov. disability checks. According to their level of disability they can get much more than that. So I feel the liberal MSM MISREPRESENTS the facts. For their own anti-war agenda.
My BIL gets one check from his gov. disability and one from SS. He brings in from those two sources $4,600.00 a month.
So....THINK about why some are homeless but MOST are NOT. There are several reasons....but for those who CHOSE not to get help....that IS their decision.

Panel: Military Health System Needs Help
Updated 10:57 PM ET February 25, 2007
By SETH BORENSTEIN
WASHINGTON (AP) - Many Iraq war soldiers, veterans and their families are not getting needed psychological help because a stressed military's mental health system is overwhelmed and understaffed, a task force of psychologists found.
The panel's 67-page report calls for the immediate strengthening of the military mental health system. It cites a 40 percent vacancy rate in active duty psychologists in the Army and Navy, resources diverted from family counselors and a weak transition for veterans leaving the military.
The findings were released Sunday by the American Psychological Association.
More than three out of 10 soldiers met the criteria for a "mental disorder," but far less than half of those in need sought help, the report found. Sometimes that's because of the stigma of having mental health problems, other times the help simply wasn't available, according to the task force. And there are special difficulties in getting help to National Guard and Reserve troops, who have been used heavily in Iraq, the report said.
The special task force found no evidence of a "well-coordinated or well-disseminated approach to providing behavioral health care to service members and their families."
The psychology task force, chaired by an active military psychologist and comprised of psychologists working for the military or Veterans Administration, said "relatively few high-quality" mental health programs exist in the military now.
"There are tremendous needs; the system is stressed by these needs," said pediatric psychologist Jeanne Hoffman, a task force member and a civilian pediatric psychologist at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu.
The Defense Department's mental health experts hadn't read the report. Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said the military is proud of its mental health services record, including a new program this year that checks up on service members after they return home to their families.
"For the past four years, DOD has been aggressively reaching out to support our military personnel before and after deployments. This is unprecedented," Smith said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "We have assessed the health, including the mental health of more than 1 million service members before and after deployments. We have worked with their families and others to address mental health concerns associated with deployments and with war."
One of the major problems is that four out of 10 "active duty licensed clinical psychologist" slots in the Army and Navy are not filled, a problem worsened by the dire need to send mental health experts into war zones, the report said.
That high vacancy rate has several side effects. One is that the psychologists left are overwhelmed, the report said. It found that one-third of Army mental health personnel reported "high burn out" and 27 percent reported "low motivation for their work."
Because of the shortage, there are even fewer stateside therapists to help families of those deployed and to help returning soldiers readjust, the report found.
Hoffman, the pediatric psychologist, said she's seen children regress on toilet training, have severe headaches, stomach pains, and suffer in school because of the stress of having a parent deployed.
And for soldiers and veterans returning home, only 10 to 20 percent of the military's mental health experts are trained to help those with post-traumatic stress disorder, the report found.
"I know guys that are waiting for appointments," said Russell Terry, chief executive officer of the Iraq War Veterans Organization. "I know guys who are dealing with doctors who have no concept of PTSD."
Terry was on the phone with an Iraq war veteran last year when the vet killed himself.
Report co-chair Michelle Sherman, a psychologist at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Oklahoma City, said the military and VA are "working very hard to meet the needs" of those returning from Iraq.
At VA headquarters, Antonette Zeiss, deputy chief consultant in the agency's office of mental health services, said the report "misses the mark by quite a way." She said her agency didn't have "an opportunity to present data (to the panel) about what the VA is really doing."
Sherman said the panel did seek data from the VA, but when asked if the agency provided information to the psychologists' panel, she said: "I'm not supposed to answer that question."
Zeiss said the VA has been increasing spending on mental health services yearly, opening new centers and hiring more psychological professionals.
"We have the strongest mental health system in the country and we are making it stronger," she said.
But veterans groups disagree.
"The system as it exists today ignores the readjustment needs specific to Iraq and Afghanistan service members," Veterans for America President Bobby Muller said in a statement. "We have to stop throwing money at a problem that requires a complete overhaul. The system is broken."

Linda, honey. Let's clear something up. When I said that McDermott was radicalized by his experience as a Vietnam navy psychiatrist, the radicalization had to do with unwise wars and the effects they have on our loved servicemen and women. He's a very effective Democratic congressman and votes intelligently. You seem to think everyone who's a Democrat is a "liberal radical" or such. Not fair.

So please don't go spreading FALSE rumors around. I use three different 'rating' sites where ALL congress people are rating by their past VOTES.
mcDermott is in the 90+ percentile...as I mentioned. So, he's NOT a moderate dem...nor a conservative one. He's a VERY FAR LEFT, radical progressive liberal.
