You can get a Soldier out of a War, but you can't get a War out of a Soldier, as the saying goes, They need constant access to support to adjust back to civilian lives, and sometimes it'll take years before they break down as they finally reach a point where they can start to process things
Both physicians are, ptsd doesn't mean you aren't still functional or doing just fine except maybe being triggered. I would be amazed by anyone working level 1 trauma not having some level of it.
@@GrigoriZhukovI know people who've seen just about everything the Middle East could offer to a Hospital, they'll be long gone before ever forgetting the experience
This is an incredibly well-written story. I've been fighting for two decades to escape the demons I brought back from Afghanistan. Therapy has been so helpful, but sometimes i end up right back there...
We live because of disposable men. Not just military, look at the dirty dangerous jobs and statistics on dangerous jobs. You will recognize a common feature.
The sad bit about the padded rooms, is that they're more torturous than people give them credit for. Despite them being the only way to prevent severe harm to the people inside it.
I hate when authors use ridiculous numbers to try and sound more impressive and / or horrific. "250,000 casualties in 48 hours." Basic math: 172,800 seconds in 24hrs. 25 Trauma Rooms One casualty every 36 seconds to make that figure. Even if we assume other operating rooms, as noted in the story, that at best triples the number to one patient every 108 seconds.
They should either decrease casualty number or increase room numbers/facilities. By a lot. Unless they have some Star Trek teleporter-like medical tech or time warping abilities, these figures aren't exactly possible.
I'm disappointed that they talk about psychic Warfare, and they are in a psychic hospital, but neither of the patients were targets of psychic assault. It's a decent story, just one I've heard before.
PTSD is no small thing, and warfighters aren't the only ones to endure it. I know too many who suffer it. Well written, well read.
If you are going to send boys to fight your war, be prepared to help the broken men who come back.

Very powerful story. Thanks.
And here I thought the human doctor might have been the second patient.

@@GrigoriZhukov The first doctor getting caught up in her memory is an example of flashback.
The human doctor probably has his own baggage.

i've always wondered, how does gaming affect one? does it make things surface or does it prompt a self awareness that severs associations?

It's not just the physical wounds that need to be treated...

Thank you both. UKUK
4:50 Nope. Nu uh. Author, research this first. NOBODY in healthcare of any type, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, will EVER use the "Q" word. NEVER.
