On ‘Fox & Friends,’ Utah veteran who took photos of dirty hospital room says he’d like more choices in healthcare

The Utah Army veteran whose photos of a dirty treatment room spurred an apology from the Salt Lake City VA medical center told Fox News on Tuesday that he has to wait until 2019 for another appointment.

Christopher Wilson said he is supposed to have a six-month follow-up appointment for his feet and ankle issues at the clinic he has been attending, but he has been told the next available appointment is Feb. 7.

“It’s supposed to be a six-month follow-up, but it’s a 10-month follow-up,” Wilson, 33, told “Fox & Friends.”

The host asked Wilson if he would prefer to receive treatment with “his own physician” if there were no additional charges to him.
