The Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick Whistleblower Protection Act passed the House with bipartisan support Thursday. The act is named for a former Tomah VA psychologist who committed suicide after being fired from the VA for questioning veteran over prescription. Representative Ron Kind said, “Although Dr. Kirkpatrick is no longer with us, today we honored his dedication to serving veterans and his courage to stand up for what was right.
