Summary
A Pittsburgh VA veteran, 68, is critically ill with Legionnaires’ disease after contracting it at work — his daughter blames the facility despite VA claims water systems were safe. He’s on a ventilator and in a coma, with dialysis ongoing. This isn’t the first time Legionella hit the VA here — two patients tested positive in May, and a deadly 2011 outbreak killed six. The VA is now under scrutiny. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
