| [NY Post] She’s the kiss of death for hospitals. The woke Veterans Affairs official who ordered hospitals take down the iconic Times Square V-J-Day kissing photo previously mismanaged a Missouri hospital so badly, she was condemned by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Smooch-bashing VA bigwig RimaAnn Nelson headed the department’s St. Louis hospital for more than three years, during which time the facility was rated worst in the country — with patients allegedly left in their feces for days, and more than 1,800 of our nation’s heroes being exposed to HIV and hepatitis from unsterilized dental equipment, reports said. "What happened in the dental clinic shouldn’t have ever happened," an employee told an ensuing congressional investigation. "If people were taking their jobs seriously, not passing the buck and pointing the finger, none of this would have happened." RimaAnn Nelson took charge of the Veterans Affairs’ St. Louis Healthcare System in late 2009.

The gig included a government-funded home and at $160,000 salary in the low-cost-of-living country. Nelson took charge of the St. Louis VA hospital in late 2009. A few months later, federal investigators found the dental equipment "visibly dirty post-sterilization" and condemned staff for not being familiar with the department’s sterilization guidance. When they returned to the hospital two years later, those issues were still not addressed, as administrators "did not provide the necessary level of oversight and did not routinely verify the adequacy of some practices or the accuracy of data and status reports," according to Arizona Central. Though the foul-up potentially exposed veterans to ailments like HIV and hepatitis, none were infected, the University of Arizona’s Cronkite News reports. But Nelson’s tumultuous tenure was not over, as employees would go on to tell a local news station that veterans were left sitting in feces for days at a time and nurses said they were retaliated against when they would speak out about the conditions, according to the Caller.
