Is it me or can the Veterans Administration not hire doctors that aren't Paki or Indian?  Damn

Mini- rant over, but can't stand the SOB's.

Depends where you are. Lots of US born docs at the VA in Asheville, including my brother. Some in TX as well.

The primary they assigned me is Chinese, I think. She's also terrible and I have trouble understanding her. A simple blood test require an appointment and the lab is only open like 2 hours a day. I also had to wait several months for a dental cleaning appointment and they cancelled it a week out because the one provider left.

After that experience, I gave up on the VA and went back to just using my health insurance.

They can get special licenses to practice in gov facilities when they can't get licensed to practice medicine for the general public.  It's been that way a long time.  Used to be the standard in prisons and mental facilities.

Was so informed by my uncle who worked many years at a facility for the criminally insane at Ionia, Michigan.  The facility was later converted to a prison and he worked both aspects.  

I also had a second source but don't remember it.
