To the best of my knowledge surgeons, doctors, ect...who work for or with va are immune from malpractice lawsuits, that's enough to scare me away from the va, from my understanding a lot of surgeons practice on vets before entering the real world.
I am considering getting my static line injury repaired. It's causing more and more pain in my elbow, so it's time to do something about it. I didn't get it fixed when it happened because the doctors laughed about the possibility of them screwing it up.
