Abstract/Description
My personal story of being an operating room nurse at the 12th Evacuation Hospital Cu Chi, Vietnam during the fighting in the iron triangle January 1967, as mass casualties with severely wounded soldiers show up to heal during mortar attacks, monsoons, and artillery going off. Meet Johnny, hit by American Artillery, and Jim, a baseball pitcher with multiple wounds including to his pitching hand, who found me in 2014.
Experience with me my terror on the tarmac at Bien Hoa airbase on the day I left, culture shock, emerging PTSD symptoms, assaults by protestors, being head nurse of the orthopedic ward at Madigan General Hospital, and my growing awareness of the effects of the war, on me and my brother soldiers.
Learn what takes place in the brain and body with PTSD and discover the essentials to healing it. Explore some tools and adjuncts to therapy that ensure anyone with PTSD has the best healing outcome.
People and veterans with PTSD need to know someone who has been through it and come out whole on the other side. They need to believe they can heal and be better than they are when in the throes of their symptoms. They need hope and guidance. Warrior Nurse: PTSD and Healing gives them both.
