The records were found in a dumpster at an apartment complex and had all the information, social security numbers and more.  The pages clearly show the VA Logo along with a hospital, University Health  next to the VA hospital.image  University Health hospital said they have identified the personal responsible for dumping the medical records and the person apologized.  Why did they do it is my question.

This has to make Vets feel real good.  The newsman returned the information and files to the VA.  As you can’t miss in the news the VA is under scrutiny right now at almost every facility and this just ads more to the fire.  BD
