Death's from human research just at Albany VA revealed; Is this a travesty of justice for all Veterans?

Independent audit of Stratton (VA) research program: "Subjects were consented, enrolled, and examined by an individual posing as a medical doctor.... The Internal Review Board did not adequately protect the rights and welfare of human subjects."





Quintiles Consulting, an independent clinical site auditor hired by Stratton, discovers fraud in 70 percent of Stratton's cancer research patients' files. The confidential report concludes the hospital's human experiments "lack adequate oversight" and that an Institutional Review Board, which monitors research protocols, "did not adequately protect the rights and welfare of human subjects."





A federal grand jury hands up a 48-count indictment against Kornak, including charges of negligent homicide.





2005: Under a plea and cooperation agreement, Kornak pleads guilty to three felony counts and is sentenced to 71 months in federal prison.





2007: Holland pleads guilty in federal court to a misdemeanor count of failing to keep accurate records on research patients. He continues to practice medicine. His sentencing is pending.

It is a travesty, many unreported deaths result due to the way we Veterans are treated at VA hospitals.
Reply:According to your latest findings, it seems to be.
Reply:Pacer, this is a travesty of justice. It is a clear case of their great lawyers keeping the VA from spending possibly 1 billion in lawsuit damages in a civil court.
Reply:Take out the part that it was a VA hospital...one would think it was regular pharmaceutical testing...was there no oversight by the drug companies that were supplying the drugs...I think to date the nuclear testing on soldiers was the real tragedy.
Reply:if it is true they deserve to catch a bullet in the brainbox
