Commentary: My cousin received wonderful care at the Salt Lake City VA

Back in May, a tweet with pictures of a messy casting room at the Salt Lake City Veterans Administration Hospital went viral. The room was a mess, and that was the story.

It was a dirty room where, earlier in the day, eight casts had been put on veterans. Another patient was assigned to the room before it had been thoroughly cleaned and had to wait 45 minutes for care. This resulted in the rant on Twitter. The gist of the tweet was the VA Hospital is a terrible place for our veterans.

At the same time, in a different area of the hospital, another veteran was having the opposite experience.
