Veteran Files ADA Civil Rights Violation against Veterans Administration

 

Enough is enough! Veterans are being left behind and purposely discriminated against by VA personnel, both medical and staff. This is a horror story that is backed up by medical records, White House Veterans Hotline, and Congressional inquiries that were dropped because congress person was endorsed by the union at Portland, Or, VA and veteran was not advised of that conflict of interest. Veteran Steven Masone was having pacemaker battery changed on June 17, 2019 at the Portland Oregon VA. 

Right before he was completely sedated, the Dr. advised him his potassium was low and they had to administer more through his IV which began to burn ...he called out to stop the operation but staff continued and even incompetently placed blood pressure cuff above the IV! When patient awoke after operation, he headed to bathroom where he passed out from overdose of potassium because the doctors did not not see he was an albuterol user which chases potassium out of the blood serum into the cellular system and all medical protocol calls for a halt to any procedure when albuterol is in medical history and shows low potassium. The patient cracked his head on cement floor and recieved a Traumatic brain Injury and his bed alarm to notify staff when he got out of bed was not turned on. He lay unconcious for some time until he regained conciusness and pulled bathroom alert chain. No EEG or any other brain test was administered and was hurriedly discharged in next morning and became dizzy and was almost hit by another vehicle running a red light. He suffered cognitive decline, migraine headaches  vertigo, vision loss and contracted other vision conditions leading to now being legally blind. After some time he researched and found the contra-indicated issue with the potassium and albuterol and found all the notes of the fiasco in operating room had been scrubbed and the congress person inquiry did mot file a freedom of information request.

 In 2020 while assisting in the Almeda wildfire in Talent and Phoenix Oregon that destroyed thousands of homes as a PTSD counselor and American Legion Officer to assess and help veterans navigate the FEMA gauntlet. His eyes became injured from the toxic smoke and more vision loss occurred. 

 The White City VA misdiagnosed him with Wet Macular Degeneration snd told it was untreatable. However, a new treatment came out almost 3 years ago for his later actual Dry Macular Degeneration and he could hve started then, adding up to 45% more sight life slowing the progression.

  In 2024 he had cataract surgery go wrong on his left eye at Portland VA also, and developed another untreatable retina condition known as  'Charles Bonnet Syndrome' that further complicated his eyesight and was told the eye needed to be done over, but could not get any date for another surgery. He moved to the Roseburg VA stem in Oregon and could not get a PCP (Primary Care Physician) for 11 months and 20 days.  Community Care finally got him into an  ophthalmologist who correctly diagnosed his Dry Macular degeneration and started him on the eye shot treatment. He also has a spinal injury that a bullet to T-12 vertebrae has caused him to seek removal by robotic surgery... but VA will not send him to neuro surgeons and is mostly wheel cahair bound as well. 


He has re-injured the spinal injury several times from falling due to his declining eyesight. He recieved in Home Care which Portland approved but Roseburg would not contionue because he called White House Hotine and he feels it was in retaliation. He moved to the Puget Sound VA System in Washington and has been met with more resistance and discrimination. Steven Masone Founded a Veterans Emergency Shelter in Eugene Oregon and helped permenantly housed over 1600 Vets into their own housing in  cooperation with the VA Hud/Vash Reintegration Pgm. He  has been a tireless advocate for ADA Advocacy and is filing a Civil Rights violation and hopes to also see a Class Action  suit for all Vets who have had their rights violated also.

    After being in the Hospitality business for 30 years, I have found that first
    impressions set the customer's expectations and has the greatest effect
    on their decisions to be a repeat customer. "You have only have one
    chance to make a first impression!"



  • My first impression was when I called to confirm my reservation.
    No AI or third party live or software annoucements etc... that are cold
    and impersonal messages...but a personal greeting by General Manager
    Eric Peluschenko. I was impressed.



  • When I arrived, Athena at the front Desk was sincerely friendly and
    even helped me personally with my baggage to my very nice 2nd floor
    King room. Checking out, on front desk was Barbara, who was as sincerely helpful and competent as Athena.


  •  


      I ordered a  snack at their great trendy kitchen & Bar....where Grace,       the  Bartender  nd great facilitator of keeping her customers in ingaing   conversations, skilled in knowing how to "work entertaining   conversations of customers, it felt like a re-run of a combo "FRIENDS-   SEiNFIELD-CHEERS EPISODE while muti- tasking her orders not     mIssing A beat! My Garlic fries were the Bomb!


  •                                          Eggs Benedict
     For brekfast, my server, Trey, was right there with his contemporaries
    with frienly banter and professional service. He recommded the Homade
    "Spam & Whisky Bacon Signature breakfast, with homemade O'brian
    potatoes, two eggs to order, and choice of toast... and I chose the marbles rye toast...excellant through and through! We talked about Spam festivals as one in Southern Oregon in Shady Cove was very popular, but not sure if it has resurrected since pandemic. The Head Chef...Troy Sasazzmann created the delicious homeade Spam that I would bet on to win first place in any 'Spam Festival Competiton Contest!"
    Safe part of Portland, Safe underground parking.

The new Executive Director of Oregon Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) and American Legion Chaplain Post 3 in Eugene, has initiated an Investigation into 32 Veterans being evicted from a Portland Hotel shut down for Black Mold.

Masone has reported he spoke with a Mr. “Spitzer the Supervisor who approved Per Diem payments at the Vancouver VA Campus to inform them his Hope Center Homeless Veteran Program could house ten vets immediately in a remodeled home with on premisis substance abuse Program Director, but was told by Spitzer the VA has the veterans somewhere else but would not say where. Masone further reported that “The Vets should be told of all offers as I am sure more reputable programs who have not failed these Vets, have offered also.” Just today Feb 6th, Masone discovered the Eugene address for a Reveille FoundationPO Box had been vacant for two years. ‘Reveille Foundation lied about having an office and mailbox here and I can't believe the VA or other media did not investigate Reveille Foundation "...said Steven Masone.

Human Rights Group Calls For Oregon State Hospita Salem To Come Clean on Abuses and Negligence in Skye Baskin Death









Oregon Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) Calls for deeper dive into Oregon State Hospital's Involvement in death of Skye Baskin. Oregon’s mental health system may be responsible for a 27-year-old man’s death last month.
Skye Edward Baskin, a Black man who was, according to family members, likely homeless, had been arrested in Roseburg in March for wandering in and out of traffic on the freeway.The Executive Director of the Group, Steven Masone said, "It's like 'One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest' all over again." Masone referred to the Jack Nicholas Movie that was based on a true story at the old State Hospital, now a Museum. " Where there's  smoke, there is fire, and we want transparenncy on illegal forced therapies like ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy. and Psych Drugs meant to control and not treat"
Steven Masone was intrumental in the California Bill AB 1032 in 1976 that outlawed forced ECT when he was previously with CCHR and saw recent cases of patients not being fully informed of their rights and voluntarily agreed to the barbaric procedure. Thus he applied for the open Executive Director position for CCHR Opegon to get action taken involving many Civil Rights complaints atthe Salem  Hospital. Masone is also a member of the RFK Jr team and said " The Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr,  has the authority to shut down any Hospital in the nation." Masone also wants the Autopsy report on Skye Baskin"released ASAP!"
