Jeffrey Lucey was a veteran of the Iraq War who returned home with obvious mental problems.

After escalating behavorial misconduct, he was involuntarily commited to the VA Hospital in Leeds, Mass., and placed on suicide watch.

And released by an MD without consultation with a psychiatrist.

He killed himself 17 days later.

His parents have sued for malpractice. They may have a case:

As for the Lucey family’s legal case, the Inspector General did conclude that a psychiatrist should have examined Jeff Lucey when his parents brought him to the VA hospital a second time. That finding–buttressed by the critical report from the commission on veterans’ care chaired by former Senator Bob Dole and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala–may outweigh the judgment last spring of Albert Gonzales’s Justice Department, which ruled that no medical malpractice was involved.

(Alberto Gonzales’s Justice Department. It is to laugh.)

Another sacrifice for Bush’s lies.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
