    I was wounded in Vietnam May 14th, 1967 and have been in the “Vietnam Head Injury Study” (VHIS) which has now become “The War Fighters Head Injury Study!” I have a two square inch (2 sq inch) hole in my skull, shrapnel in my brain and was retired from the U.S. Army for that wound! The Veterans Administration in Martinez, California and Ft. Miley are (redacted)! The VA is a useless money wasting organization that lets doctors ignore, over prescribe, and kill veterans because of their incompetence! I had to go outside to seek medical care for my SERVICE CONNECTED HEAD INJURY! A doctor (redacted)caused me to loose my job and he to me is a bigot piece of dung! FTVA! How many more will loose their limbs, be addicted to needless medication, be faced with a VA doctor that cares more about the bonus than the Veterans sitting in front of them? I have 50 years of experience in dealing with the VA health care and I can say on a scale from 1 to 10 I give the medical a “3!”
