A U.S. Marine Corps veteran said he was locked inside this VA Outpatient Clinic, in Orange City, on Monday, July 21, 2014.

ORANGE CITY
Jeff Duck, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, was sitting inside a room at a VA Outpatient Clinic in Volusia County Monday. He was told to wait in the room and that someone would be there shortly.

No one came, though. And when he went out of the room to see what was going on, he realized he was the only person inside the clinic.

Duck said he's not blaming anyone in particular, but he does think what happened to him shows the VA system is broken.

"In the military, you never leave anybody behind," Duck said Monday night. "This kind of leaves the feeling — obviously I was left behind."

Duck, using his cell phone, captured video Monday afternoon when he stopped in for a visit at the Orange City-based VA Outpatient Clinic, located on South Volusia Avenue.

"You could see in the video (that) the lab was open," Duck said. "I don't know what was in there. I didn't look that closely. They have locks to the doors going back to the doctors’ offices, but I could have just crawled over the front counter and walked to the back."
