There should be at least 2 BOARD certified ER physicians on all shifts at US VA Hospitals in all stateso

Most Veteran Administration hospitals do NOT- I repeat DO NOT a Board Certified emergency physician on many shifts. ER medicine is different from internal med or Family practice. When I almost died from an upper GI bleed, did they finally call for help. Military Veterans deserve the best.

Beats having a NP or PA in the ER without supervision
