The veteran's urinary disability is determined to be the result of carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, or error in judgment on his part rather than due to VA hospitalization and treatment. As a result, compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 is not warranted.
The deciding factor: The veteran's urinary disability was not proximately caused by carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, or error in judgment on the part of VA.
