My partner had gone to a local Hospital and while registering for a bllod draw. A person came to the Emergency room with three fingers severed. The physician was in the process of getting a flight for life helocopter to transport to a more suitable facility. When the physician found out he was uninsured, and hiv positive he wrapped his fingers up and told him to contact the VA on Monday as he was a veteran. The person left the hospital with very little care and I am sure a strong possibility for infection.
Why do we do this to each other? Greed is the disease we have no treatment for, so untill that changes we are all at risk at becoming that veteran without care. Peace To You
