That means leadership, or LACK of it, doesn't it?<br />The numbers of people entering the building when I walk through the door is amazing, and the fact many of them are missing limbs or being pushed in wheelchairs makes me feel somewhat guilty. But the idea of paying for the excellent care I'm getting outside the VA system makes me swallow hard.<br />I hope your facility improves. <br />Tell someone.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926528617816553064.post-28645243083472833612021-04-29T11:15:52.072-06:002021-04-29T11:15:52.072-06:00Rev Paul
