A friend of mine has horror stories about a VA hospital in Washington DC. He went in because he had a tooth pulled a few weeks before that and developed dry socket that got infected. He nearly died. It was bad enough that they actually came and started packing up his stuff from his room at the barracks. Anyway, he said they did things like putting him in the CT scanner and when he got out he caught his IV cord and it ripped some out of his arm. So he is bleeding all over the place and they just tell him to walk like that back to the duty nurse. So he has to walk by himself bleeding and dripping blood onto the floor to an elevator, take it down a floor and across the building to a nurse. He said just overall is sucked and he would only ever go back there if it was an absolute last resort.
That said, he went to the VA hospital here in Portland and said it is really good.
