Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Gonna be funny when plenty of folks quit and he is blamed for a care shortage.
Well… besides for the pore souls who are gonna lack care because of this stupid fuck’s ego and policies.
Yup. Only a matter of time until admin have to as well because they have patient contact.
Kill all the VA docs, kill all the VA patients. Seems logical.
The media will never expose any VA care shortage. He’s covered.
This is unfortunately true

92% of employees at my facility have been stuck twice, but I’ve got a crusty old RN who was talking about expediting his retirement this afternoon.
Wow that’s an incredibly high number. What state?
Roughly 40% of healthcare workers here in Ohio hadn’t taken the jab last I heard.

South Texas, if you can believe it.
All the blue state transplants is affecting y’all’s culture.
@honkforhagan
how long would it take for y’all to replace 5% of staff nationwide?
10%?
Just guess for me. I’m not trying to hold yore feet to the fire over it.

Forever. At least where I work, HR is the absolute worst. They can’t keep up with processing the usual amount of openings. If someone new is being hired from outside the VA, you’re looking at 6 months to a year. Can’t imagine what would happen if their workload increased. For context, I’m meeting 150+% of my expected workload because we’ve had a position open for a year and a half.
That’s what I expected and where my original belief about a shortage of care originated from.

There’s got to be a frog for this situation?
