Florida VA Denied Dying Veteran Emergency Care Because Staff Couldn't Confirm His Service

Emergency room staff at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Florida violated policy by refusing to care for a veteran dying of heart failure because they could not confirm his military service, the VA's watchdog said in a new report this week.
The unidentified 60-year-old man died 10 hours later after being taken to a different hospital. The VA inspector general faulted staff at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville for having "wasted critical time" by continuing to try to identify the man and not prioritizing immediate medical treatment.
