Gregg Gorton, identified on Facebook as a staff psychiatrist at the Philadelphia Veterans Medical Center, gave a very ‘untheraputic’ response: “Off yourself, please.”
The Dept. of Veterans Affairs offered an official apology to all veterans and their families for the Facebook post:
“Our mission is to provide the highest level of medical and mental health care, which is not reflected in the Facebook post,” a VA spokesman told The Washington Times. “The post was totally inappropriate and does not convey our commitment to veterans. We are taking steps immediately to address the situation.”
Dr. Gregg Gorton said his comment was meant to be sarcastic but he’d love to take it back nonetheless.
“It’s just one of those moments you’d rather take back in your life,” Gorton told The Associated Press. “I’ve worked 30 years to treat psychiatric patients. I teach about suicide prevention. … That’s not me.”
The Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia is reviewing his job status, Gorton said. He has worked for the agency for 11 years. The hospital has apologized to veterans and called the post “unacceptable.”
