As a whistleblower who has met with the Office of Medical Investigaton twice, my only advice to employees at this VA would be to stay as far away as possible. Unfortunately, as a VA employee, if they request to speak to you, you will have to report to their witch hunt. If you bring representation, it only serves to anger them and they will not allow anyone but the employee speak. Call in sick or crash into a tree on you way to work. It's better than facing these wolves. 

I brought forward issues at the VAMC where I work, and now I am being investigated. OMI is a joke. They work with VA leadership an VA OIG to remove anyone who strays from the standard party line. 

I also called Rep. DeFazio's office today and suggested that he talk to the Senators in my state. OMI is whitewashing the substandard care that has been provided to our Veterans. 

I wish you all good luck in your interviews. You will need it.
