Re: IED Blast Injury
It's true, I've seen a lot of nut trauma posted lately. A bunch of ball-busters, pun indended. Now I have contributed to the trend. Actually this particular topic is interesting to me personally, not just because of the gore factor, but lately my job has me working in support of the new facilities where US veterans are treated and in recovery for these injuries. I am continually astonished by how many young veterans are affected by injuries like these. At the same time I am astonished and humbled when I see how, as ChristySD wrote, resilient the human body and the human spirit are. While I can't help being saddened each time I see one of these twenty-something-year-old guys with stubs in a motorized wheelchair, I am also s that with almost every one of these young men is a young girlfriend or wife or other family accompanying them. It's a real mixed bag of emotions. They do get the best and most advanced care available and they do adapt and move forward in their lives. It's one he'll of a sacrifice they make, that is for sure. |

Re: IED Blast Injury
Matt Z.....I'm with you there, friend. When the docs were telling my parents and me in 2007 that I would never walk out of the hosl alive, I said a mental "fuck you". Now here I am, preparing to be a doctor myself. The human spirit is strong thing. I am in no way a religious person, but I do believe in the most basic animalistic ideology of self-preservation...."I want to live". I hope this made some sense.

Re: IED Blast Injury
Yeah, I just now realized that I should have done some proof reading of my own. Oh well. Good for you ChristySD! That's what I'm talking about. Couldn't agree more. |
