UCLA OPERATION MEND DOESN'T CARE IF DISABLED COMBAT VET DIES OR NOT

Then why the hell didn't you tell us that on January 10th? You let me sit here in agony for over 2 months, waiting, hoping, and extremely anxious to be accepted into your program, then you pull this crap?

Cover your asses, that's most important. That was no way to treat a disabled combat veteran in crisis, you have zero integrity, compassion or professionalism. I won't bother filling out your survey because UCLA doesn't care what I have to say, they're going to cover your asses against the veteran, but your grantors, board of directors, Medical Board of California (Physician conduct/unprofessional conduct complaints (patient abandonment), Wounded Warrior Project, and California Department of Public Health will all receive complaints and letters of complaint, detailing our horrible experience over the past two months at the hands of Operation Mend.

As long as I am alive, I will continue to tell my story on my two very popular blogs and podcast, exposing Operation Mend to the World and all US veterans as to how cold, cruel, and unethical the animals that run Operation Mend actually are and that none of you can be trusted with a veterans life. If I kill myself, and there's an extremely high probablility of that now, you'll be hearing from my wife's lawyer because she will sue UCLA, Operation Mend, Cherie, and you Tiffany, for negligence, pain, and suffering, and she will win. Now excuse me while I try to find a reputable, professional residential program that I should have started looking for over two months ago.

How do you people look at yourself in the mirror? How can you sleep? Your unethical behavior will be punished. DO NO HARM? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I see that your executive director, Dr. Sornborger, has been copied, so I will say this to her: Your employees failed me Dr. Sornborger, they failed miserably and if they have even an ounce of integrity, they will hold their staff accountable for what could have been and still can be a fatal mistake with a suicidal disabled veteran.

Maybe they can save someone else down the road by learning from their mistakes in my case. I'm an LA native and grew up a UCLA Bruin fan, so when I found out about their program, I finally had some hope that the severe physical and mental illnesses I have struggled with for the past four years would finally be addressed, but my hopes were not only dashed, they were shat upon, all over, leaving me sicker than ever and with no hope. Thanks for that.

They really have nothing to be proud about Dr. Soronborger, because when their team fails,they fail, and all of their patients, veterans, fail. They failed. Don't they want to thank me for my service? I think not. Go fuck yourselves!

I can neither wait for nor work with an organization that has such little respect for disabled veterans Tiffany.

We were told eight weeks ago that UCLA's decision process would take two weeks. I told Cherie very clearly at that time that I have been in a crisis since December 7th with a suicide attempt on December 9th, yet there is zero sense of urgency at UCLA and two months later I am being told that nothing will happen for a few more months. Really?

Who is the grantor for Operation Mend? Board of Directors? Do they know how disabled combat veterans are being treated at UCLA?

I am sick and tired of being disrespected and ignored by every so-called veteran's organization in our country because it seems as though nobody cares if I live or die. I continue to be disrespected time after time after time and I am done.

Is this the way a program for the most broken humans in the world should be run? It seems as though UCLA either doesn't have a clue how to treat us or simply doesn't care about America's disabled veterans.

My wife could have gone to Italy to take care of her sick mother and I could have flown to the USA, like I will have to do now, and get the help I so desperately need TWO MONTHS AGO at a US emergency room if Cherie would have been honest, explaining the process much more clearly from the start. We have been sitting on our thumbs, waiting for a decision that still has not come after two months and I have been suicidal the entire time, but nobody at UCLA sems to care as I continue to get sicker and sicker. Our emails requesting updates have gone unanswered.

I have lost what little trust or confidence I had in UCLA to save my life. I don't actually expect anything to be done about my concerns because, like all bureaucracies, UCLA could obviously care less about people, individual patients, and is more concerned about policies, processes, and protecting your own employees than helping patients.

You obviously have no intention of helping me any time soon, so withdraw me from consideration for Operation Mend. I give up, you win, happy? I'll be dead very soon.
