The victim managed to get himself to the VA Hospital on South Huntington.

VA Hospital on Centre Street

? The JP VA is on S Huntington & Heath. The West Roxbury VA is on VFW Pkwy.

Also, urgent care is closed at 4:00pm, and they don't care if you're dying at 4:05pm, they'll turn you away. Better off not getting yourself to the VA.

Fixed, was the JP one. He's since been transferred to a civilian hospital.

Makes you wonder: What would Angell do if he showed up at their door?

"C'mon! I been stabbed, dog!"

They would call an ambulance and provide what care that they could. When it comes to crude trauma, mammals are mammals, oxygen is oxygen, stopping bleeding is stopping bleeding, etc.

My neighbor used to work there - she has stories.

No hospital is allowed to turn people away if they're in need of emergency care. Period.

They don't turn them away, they call them an ambulance. The VA isn't a trauma hospital anyways.

Please take a joke, right after you down a chill pill.

Some guy thought he was having a heart attack at 4:05pm and they told him something about being closed. The travel department called an ambulance for him.

It'd be nice if we find some kind of middle ground between $700k condos and gang members shooting each other.

There's still the Mozart st gang. I used to live there and there would always be young black kids hanging on the stoop all day at a few houses down by the end of the block. That area has a bunch of white college kids but it's still separated by the train tracks pretty much, and once you cross Columbus it turns into roxbury
