A.J. Lagoe and Steve Eckert of Military Times report that:
According to official medical records, a former Minnesota Marine apparently contacted the Minneapolis VA from his grave to cancel an existing appointment and reschedule it.
The victim (for that, surely, is what he was):
… died on November 26, 2012, after being told he would have to wait almost 70 days to get an appointment for a serious seizure disorder at the neurology clinic at the Minneapolis VA.
But VA records show that:
… four days after his death, [he] cancelled his scheduled December appointment and requested a later date.
Compounding the crime, is the fact that:
The VA’s own policy says the goal for getting a patient into a specialty clinic like Neurology is 14 days.
