Kiley neglected patients complaints at Walter Reed, Now he is in charge!!

[caligirl]

Gen. Weightman is relieved of his Walter Reed command today. Now look who they have put in charge temporarily:

Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley, commanding general of U.S. Army Medical Command, will be acting temporarily as the Walter Reed commander until a general officer is selected to replace Weightman.


This is what Bev Young, Congressman Young's wife said was her experience with Kiley and this isn't all of it.

"Beverly Young said she complained to Kiley several times. She once visited a soldier who was lying in urine on his mattress pad in the hospital. When a nurse ignored her, Young said, "I went flying down to Kevin Kiley's office again, and got nowhere. He has skirted this stuff for five years and blamed everyone else."

Young said that even after Kiley left Walter Reed to become the Army's surgeon general, "if anything could have been done to correct problems, he could have done it."

Soldiers and family members say their complaints have been ignored by commanders at many levels.

1. Typical Bull shit! n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Gross negligence all around, especially from the incompetent admin. Kiley

blamed the rats and rodents on the soldiers. He also lived across the street from Bldg. 18 and claims he knew nothing about the problems? This story proves that's a lie.
He also bragged about jogging around WRMC (jogging! when so many have no limbs). The man is an insensitive, inept buffoon who should be court-martialed.

3. Typical Bush Cabal solution.

Oh, you have the audacity to complain? Ok.

Step 1. Treat the hospital like basic training, and have bugle calls at 5 am and room checks. Nice.

Step 2. Hire someone even MORE inept and corrupt than the person who was forced out by the criticism.

Step 3. Threaten them with consequences if they talk to the press again.


Problem solved the Bushco way. How the public has not stormed the WH and dragged this piece of shit out by his nuts I will never know.

4. court-martial the whole stinking lot of them--let them rot in leavenworth!!

5. Rewarding Incompetence

6. At least WAPO is still

on top of the story that had been taking place for years under THEIR noses. I wonder that no one had complained to WAPO all these years about such a blatant situation. The full story is much broader but apparently they are not going to be slapped down by allowing yet another cover up stooge to gloss over the horrible abuses.

But that is just WAPO? On the sheeplike headlines of American newspapers and other media the inane, insulting simplicity of revolving heads on the monster is trumpeted per WH strategy without investigation or criticism.
