| VA retaliation against whistleblower: doctor kept in empty room |
| 2017-04-01 |
 Dr. Dale Klein may be the highest-paid U.S. government employee who literally does nothing while he's on the clock. A highly rated pain management specialist at the Southeast Missouri John J. Pershing V.A., Klein is paid $250,000 a year to work with veterans, but instead of helping those who served their country, he sits in a small office and does nothing. All day. Every day. |

| #6 he's not doing it by choice. The VA Hospital is assigning him to the empty room and not giving him any patients - and *you* are paying for it. People need to go to jail for crap like this. |
