‘We don’t seem to be a priority’: Vet’s VA clinic room filled with trash, dirty medical tools
Army veteran Christopher Wilson's room at the
VA clinic in Salt Lake City
And this after Trump nominated an unqualified, rude, drinking-on-the-job-pill-pusher as the next VA administrator.
Why does the Trump Administration hate veterens?

When American soldiers bathe in Iraq, where a grimy film coats every surface, they are reminded by bathroom signs not to ingest anything that comes from the tap. So when Christopher Wilson left the Army after two tours in Iraq and sought medical care for his service-related injury at the Department of Veterans Affairs, he expected a cleaner environment than what he encountered April 5 at a VA clinic in Salt Lake City. Wilson was shocked by what he found inside a clinic room during his appointment, he told local media: an overflowing trash can, medical instruments strewn about on the counter and a filthy sink. He snapped photos of what he saw. Those photos rocketed across social media Friday, prompting an apology from the hospital system’s chief of staff and triggering an investigation. “I figured that they would say, ‘Oh, this room is not clean,’ and take me somewhere else, but they just kind of blew past it, didn’t acknowledge it,” Wilson told CBS affiliate KVFS, adding he was at the clinic for treatment of his ankle. His father, Stephen Wilson, posted the pictures to Twitter on Friday, and described the environment as “unprofessional, unsanitary and disrespectful,” calling on President Trump to get involved.
