Definately consider bein a Flight Surgeon for a year or 2. Even one ride in the backseat of a Super Hornet is worth the boredom of taking care of the healthiest patients in the world...We got screened fot PTSD back in 91' except it was like most Military Screenings, some Sergeant screamin "Any Y'all got any MENTAL problems, fill out these Forms" while we were standin in line to turn in our weapons at the Armory. And hope you're goin to a REAL school and not that USUHS waste of Tax dollars, why does the Military need its own Medical School anyway??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-82609724823929387572008-11-27T04:13:00.000-08:002008-11-27T04:13:00.000-08:00- a rubber-sheathed hacksaw, suitable for hiding w...- a rubber-sheathed hacksaw, suitable for hiding where the sun don't shine) - <BR/>presumably to keep it sterile for surgical use?<BR/>Seriously,<BR/>Is PTSD in the non-military medical world handeled better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-75893230414063977052008-11-26T15:57:00.000-08:002008-11-26T15:57:00.000-08:00Sid, I have enjoyed getting to know you better thi...Sid, I have enjoyed getting to know you better this year. <BR/><BR/>Your compassion and understanding are welcome by this Netizen and many others. <BR/><BR/>I thank you for your military service, and wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving and our best for the coming holiday season. <BR/><BR/>Peace, love and happiness --<BR/><BR/>EllenEllen Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689933781339538684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-89930884594415902012008-11-26T15:07:00.000-08:002008-11-26T15:07:00.000-08:00Sid I disagree with the denial part of your argume...Sid I disagree with the denial part of your argument. I sat in a class 2 days ago where I was told this was a real and recognized problem, and that all soldiers returning from Iraq are screened for it. The Army is also spending money on development of treatments for it involving virtual reality, they have been testing it on Iraq and Vietnam vets with some success. I can't really speak for the line side, except for maybe it takes longer to change their perception. From a military medical student's perspective it something that is a concern to the medical corps as a whole. Dr. Drackman I can't tell if your kidding or not but I'm sure you know that most generals spend more time in the lower ranks then in the upper ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-90747583479283719782008-11-26T09:03:00.000-08:002008-11-26T09:03:00.000-08:00The same to you and yours, Ramona.The same to you and yours, Ramona.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-82062380735073351982008-11-26T08:59:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:59:00.000-08:00Frank, my brother-in-law is a military chaplain ba...Frank, my brother-in-law is a military chaplain based at Ft Lawton, OK currently. He DOES a lot of GOOD with counseling those young men who return from battle (or just entered the military) with issues like PTSD. He spent a year in Iraq early in the war and did counseling there too. They don't just "preach".<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I really stopped by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Dr Sid.

I'm bettin the General's a malingerer though..have you ever seen how todays Generals live, even in a combat zone?? He probably freaks out every time he stays in a Holiday Inn Express, cause they only get 1 HBO channel unlike the 42 he got in his satellite equipped General's quarters. I still suffer from a little of the PTSD my self, that year in northern Italy was HELL I tell you!!! Every once in a while I'd have to work and couldn't enjoy a fine aged Lager out in town!!The Horror!!! And is there a bigger waste of bone and sinue than Military Chaplains??? Its a testimony to the basic goodness of the military fighting man that these guys aren't summarily shot on the battle field...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-1938372659714438442008-11-26T01:36:00.000-08:002008-11-26T01:36:00.000-08:00As you know, Sid, a four-star frigging general can...As you know, Sid, a four-star frigging general can say anything he wants. Can claim he's had PTSD since high school. Who's going to ruin his career by calling him a pussy?
