Uncle Sam's Shame: Inside Our Broken Veterans Administration
by Martin Kantor M.D.
UB369 .K33 2008

From the concerns of veteran health care sparked by coverage of Walter Reed Hospitcal to concerns about misuse and abuse of posttraumatic stress disorder diagnoses, Kantor, a medical doctor who worked for the VA from the 1960s through the 1990s, offers a detailed look at the troubled system.


Kantor's objective in this book is to help Washington, the Veterans Administration (VA) staff, the vets themselves, and the general public understand the shortcomings of VA medicine today beyond what they read in the newspapers, so that all concerned can chip in to help improve the medical care that all the vets, and not just those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, are receiving.
