Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General Healthcare
Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General Healthcare Inspection Post-Operative Paralysis Overton Brooks VA Medical Center Shreveport, Louisiana Report No. 10-03462-190 June 8, 2011 VA Office of Inspector General Washington, DC 20420 To Report Suspected Wrongdoing in VA Programs and Operations: Telephone: 1-800-488-8244 E-Mail: [email protected] (Hotline Information: http://www.va.gov/oig/contacts/hotline.asp) Post-Operative Paralysis, Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, Shreveport, Louisiana Executive Summary The VA Office of Inspector General Office of Healthcare Inspections conducted an inspection to determine the validity of an allegation regarding post-operative paralysis at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center (the medical center), Shreveport, LA. A complainant alleged that a patient could not move his lower extremities after the insertion of an epidural catheter (small hollow tube used to inject anesthetic between the spinal canal and spinal cord). The complainant believed that the catheter caused the patient’s paralysis. We did not substantiate the allegation. However, we found that the patient’s paralysis may have resulted from a prolonged period of hypotension (low blood pressure) in the intensive care unit (ICU). We concluded that the hypotension was poorly monitored and should have been treated more aggressively. During our review, we found that ICU nursing staff did not document required patient assessments. There was no documentation of the mean arterial pressures needed to adjust medications prescribed for low blood pressure, no documentation of the epidural catheter or of neurological assessments, and inconsistent documentation of verbal orders and administered medications. In addition, we found that the medical center’s system of reporting and evaluating adverse events needed improvement. -

January 13, 2021 Acting Attorney General Jeffery A. Rosen U.S
January 13, 2021 Acting Attorney General Jeffery A. Rosen U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20530-0001 Dear Acting Attorney General Rosen, We write to echo and emphasize our colleagues’ condemnation of the violent breach of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Such an abhorrent act is an affront to our nation, and we commend the United States Department of Justice for taking expedient steps toward prosecution. Attorneys General are called to lead by and to the rule of law in pursuit of justice and equality. We should all – collectively – decry political violence in every instance. The culture war is no longer a cold one, and it’s heating rapidly. The last several years have seen an assassination attempt that left Representative Steve Scalise fighting for his life, bombs mailed to public figures and detonated in city centers, buildings or entire blocks taken or held by force, and mass demonstrations that led to destruction, injury, and death. Our people and police officers are targeted and killed, our courthouses and churches burned, and the seat of our nation’s government was breached by an angry mob. Like all Americans, we seek clarity and direction toward a bright future. Like all of you, we believe the rule of law clearly leads to harmony. But until we Attorneys General stand together against all political violence, we amplify aimless partisan wandering instead of taking strides toward unity. When Antifa or like-minded rioters stoked violence on college campuses, we did not have the strength to unify. Now they stoke violence in our streets as we wonder where all this chaos started. -

Request for Confirmation to Participate in Meeting
BOBBY }INDAL PEGGY M. HATCH GOVERNOR SECRETARY ~tate of JLoutstana DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY January 22, 2015 The Honorable Gina McCarthy Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator McCarthy: First and foremost, I write to express my continued dissatisfaction with how the EPA Region 6 is handling its responsibilities in the disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. On January 16, 2015, I asked that you intervene to ensure the safe disposal of munitions at Camp Minden and requested a conference call for this week to discuss the very important matter. I am disheaiiened that I have yet to hear from you. As you may know, the U.S. Army has agreed to meet with agency officials from the State of Louisiana next week regarding the disposal of M6 at Camp Minden. The purpose of this meeting, which the Army has indicated is contingent on the EPA's participation and the specific attendance of the EPA' s Dr. Brian Gullett, is to allow the federal government to demonstrate why it chose the open burn tray method for disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. We urge you to confirm EPA' s participation as outlined above by close of business January 23 , 2015. Separately, I request that the EPA make available to the State all data and information at its disposal regarding the open burn tray method by January 28, 2015. This data and information includes, but is not limited to: •Sites in the U.S. where open burn tray disposal has/is being used and for what purposes -
