Kaiser Corporation is an abomination of health care, especially the large ambulatory care center in San Francisco.
The VAs are completely incompetent and short staffed. They're so bad that they were mentioned in 2 films, "Flatliners," and "Sicko." I know a gentleman, a vet, 59 yrs old
who has been waiting for almost 2 yrs for a replacement motorized wheelchair. Now he is literally chained to wherever he is put. Have
mercy on this poor man and give him this darn wheelchair before he dies.
After working in health care for almost 40 yrs.
You can be sure that it will be a big job.
