Veterans say VA care shortchanges Agent Orange vets
A survey shows four of ten veterans feel their symptoms were not given proper attention at VA hospitals after exposure concerns. A third sought private doctors, only 17 percent were told test results, and directives now require written lab results to be provided. The VA official defends exam quality while noting many veterans seek examinations. About 45,000 Vietnam veterans requested checks on potential health effects from Agent Orange. During the war 12 million gallons were sprayed to aid surveillance, and the agent contains dioxin.
