VA facility or office involved:

As a former Ambassador I have been asked by someone who sits at the dinner table with the US President to file one last complaint with the VA. All previous 14 Complaint Forms were trashed and no action was taken to correct the issues and no reward was received.

Names of wrongdoers:

VA Medication Procurement Office

Names of victims:

Every one who uses an Inhaler for Athesma

Alleged legal or policy violation(s) or other misconduct:

The medications you dispense are sub-grade, bad quality and often do not contain the medications you claim are in the containers.

Effect of the wrongdoing, such as dollars lost, delay produced, etc.:

Take Proventil – for example – for athesma. Every third one goes bad after normal use — leaving 1/2 still in the inhaler. Thus the VA over spend by 1/6th because the medication is bad.

Date(s) when the event(s) occurred:

Ongoing

Names of witnesses:

Every Proventil User

Has this allegation been previously reviewed?: Yes

If yes, please provide the dates and who did the review:

By the local VA Pharmacy in Tacoma and Seattle.

Have you contacted the VA OIG about this issue before?: No

If yes, please provide date contact was made and to whom:

Additional Comments:

Your budget just got hacked by $2 Billion. Expect this to increase as the China begins to dump the US Dollar in a few months. In 30 days the one who “Sits With The President At Dinner” will more than likely get a full report on this complaint filed.

My guess is that if all 14 previous reports are not acted on and a 15% ongoing Reward on a month to month basis is not given out in perpetuity for the money saved at the VA Hospitals Nation Wide then this person will be somewhat upset.

I do not know what their actions will be but more than likely – not good for the VA Hospital System.
