VA HOSPITAL: Rude men can ruin visit

| August 30, 2013 9:00 PM

I have read the posts with regard to the Spokane VA Med Center, and here is my two cents worth. I am a nuclear test veteran from the Dominic 1 tests in the South Pacific in 1962 and receive my care through this VA facility in Spokane. For the most part my care has been excellent, and certainly there have been mistakes made — after all, who among us is perfect?

My only problem is with some of the male nurses and male receptionists and their rude attitude and intentional sneers, so this is what we have to look forward to as we age as patients at this medical center. It is no wonder that I cancel my appointments so I do not have to deal with the attitude.
