    Read the article here:

    Why isn't this on the national news with so many Veterans at risk?

    Re: VA patients test HIV positive after clinic mistakes!

    Great. I'm a Vietnam era veteran and just recently got my VA card. I returned from Vietnam with both eardrums ruptured and got one fixed at a regular hospital many years ago. Recently the unfixed one has been hurting and oozing a clear liquid so I figured I would let the VA handle it. But....

    Johnny...sorry to hear that you are suffering and hope you find relief soon! I think you should be fine having the problem with your ear fixed.
    The article is talking about a piece of equipment not being sterilized in a particular procedure, that has to do with the colon.

    Thank you for serving!!

    Johnny, Since my retirement - admittedly only a few years ago, the VA has been nothing but fantastic!

    I would guess that much more horrible things happen in regular civilian clinics/hospitals than the VA, but we always expect the VA to be perfect. Thankfully I have never had a bad experience in either...

    Go get that dang ear fixed!
