MED I.G.

This week has been very interesting. I learned that the Naval Hospital (reference my past post regarding Alison's ill-care) is being inspected by the Medical Inspector-General. Then a friend dropped a number to the Inspector-General's Public Affairs/Customer Service Officer. I called and requested an audience, which I was given this morning at 0900. So I got collected all my documents, prepared my uniform, and went over. (pardon the Captain-America shot)
I was specific and prepared, and I found that the Inspector-General team was very receptive. They copied all my documents (I wouldn't part with the originals), and then they promised me that they would reveal Alison's case to the Naval Hospital Commanding Officer and request a formal investigation. I was warned that the documents generated by the investigative team would be protected, and I would need an attorney to request any other document than the final findings. It will take 30-45 days typically for a quality assurance investigation.
So something will be done to right this wrong. If I am wrong about my assumptions, I'll find out (but I doubt I am too off-the-mark). If not, they'll change their business procedures. When I left the office she said, "Thanks for revealing this to me." I said my thanks in return, and left feeling good about the possibility of resolution.
