Brian Tally, a former SGT in the
United States Marine Corps was severely injured due to the
incompetence of several doctors and ER staff, at the VA hospital in
Loma Linda, Ca. His misdiagnosis led to months of neglect and
malpractice, that eventually nearly cost him his life. After nearly
a year long battle with the VA’s General Counsel attorneys, Brian
was denied compensation for his injuries, because the VA had
concluded the accused physician was not a VA employee, but an
“independent contractor” working within the VA. The VA also
concluded that it’s not responsible, or accountable for the
injuries and malpractice due to the current FTCA law / Contractor
Exception.
Brian is now on a mission to change
the law to protect all veterans from unidentified “independent
contractors,” and to ensure that VA is transparent and fully
accountable.
