Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System Director Anthony Dawson received a tongue-lashing from unhappy military veterans during a town hall meeting Tuesday afternoon.
“Why doesn’t the VA care about its people?” said Biloxian Donald Schielder, a disabled Vietnam War veteran. “That’s the way I feel. Y’all don’t care about us. I fought for my country to keep my country free. I expect a little more respect.”
He complained about the difficulty in making appointments with his doctor.
He said the VA scheduled his appointments for him until about a year ago, when he was told he had to start scheduling his own appointments.
“I haven’t seen a doctor in over a year-and-a-half,” he said.
Like Schielder, veteran John Robinson said the Gulf Coast VA medical staff are disrespectful and don’t seem to care about his problems.
He said his doctor prescribed him a cholesterol medication that resulted in a burning sensation in his throat.
