After Budget cuts close VA lab that deals with Legionnaires it shows up
Just weeks ago,the VA closed the Legionnaires Desease Pathogens lab in Pittsburgh.
Case of Legionnaires shows up at Albany NY. VA hospital.

At the time,the Director of the lab,Dr Janet Stout said,"This absolutely will jepardize lives.Outbreaks will be missed."

This story bears watching. Did the veteran contact Legionnaires in the VA hospital or elsewhere? We should know shortly. And if it was at the VA Dr. Stout's words will take on the ring of a prophecy.

1. Hmm. This sounds like a job that needs to be outsourced to a private lab.
Immediately. No matter the cost. $$$$$$$$$
