Attorney calls Marion VA surgeon hire egregious
An attorney for Bob Shank's widow labels the VA hospital's hiring of Dr. Jose Veizaga-Mendez as the most egregious concern. Shank bled to death after a Aug 9 gallbladder surgery, and the doctor resigned days later amid a spike in post-surgery deaths. The case questions Marion VA credentialing and vetting practices and cites Veizaga-Mendez's troubled licensing history in Illinois and Massachusetts.
