Veterans' Affairs hearing for Cochran VA set

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) -- The chairman of Veterans' Affairs committee in the U-S

House will be in St. Louis later this month.

Democrat Bob Filner will oversee a hearing into this week's revelation that the

use of improperly sterilized dental tools at the Cochran V-A hospital may

have exposed hundreds of area veterans to Hepatitis and HIV.

Missouri Congressman Russ Carnahan says the hearing will be held on July 13th at

a still-to-be-determined time and place, " Not only do we have to look into the

procedures that were undertaken, but if there were management lapses, " said

Carnahan.

Maddox was one of the local veterans who received a letter from hospital

officials informing them they have a " remote " chance of contracting H-I-V or

hepatitis. " I thought the letter was very impersonal. It's the same as getting

a letter in the mail stating that the front entrance to the VA is being closed, "

expressed Maddox.

Carnahan reiterated that feeling, " ly the range of emotions that I heard

were scared to death, and mad as hell. "

Veterans will have to wait at least six months before finding out whether

they're at risk.
