A federal review of the Memphis Veteran Affairs Medical Center shows major violations including unsanitary conditions to veterans unnecessarily dying in its care, according to an article on the News3 Channel website.
Along with unsanitary conditions, such as soiled furniture and dirty air ducts where food is prepared, there are also treatment concerns.
In a two-year period, nine patients developed pressure ulcers while at the facility, 16 patients with serious treatable conditions died at the facility and two patients developed catheter-related bloodstream infections.
The hospital blamed the issues on lack of communication, personnel and training.
