Troubling revelations are coming out of a VA hospital in Oklahoma City.
Myles Deering, executive director of the VA medical center in Talihina, Oklahoma, said four employees have resigned after maggots were discovered in the wound of a 73-year-old veteran, who later died of sepsis.
Deering said the maggots were found while the patient, Owen Reese Peterson, was still alive and were not the only contributing factor to his death.
Monday on America's Newsroom, host Bill Hemmer asked Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth, a veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, about the state of VA hospitals nationwide.
"Ultimately, veterans have to be empowered to be able to have a choice," Hegseth said. "Until they have that choice, they're not treated like customers. And veterans should be customers of world-class service."
