Hospital Addresses Soldiers' Complaints

[cal04]

The commander of the Army's leading medical facility acknowledges problems in outpatient treatment but said the hospital is working to address the concerns of patients and their families.

Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, commanding general of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, said in an interview Friday that he knows some soldiers have complaints about the way their cases have been handled.

Weightman spoke in advance of an article in Sunday's editions of The Washington Post detailing some of those issues.

Some soldiers and their families have complained that it takes too long to get through an evaluation to determine whether the soldier will be returned to duty or be retired for medical reasons. That process begins once the soldier becomes an outpatient.
