    I also fought in Afghanistan to, and I lost my best friend to an explosion. And when that explosion went off I lost my leg and my left arm. And I am still trying to recover from that traumatic experience to this day. And watching this short video really spoke to how I feel today.

Our government always seems to make sure to fail people who fight for us. I will keep fighting for improvements.

    The doctor telling the psychologist he should have chosen a different play made no sense. The only way to heal from trauma is to face it. And doing that through things like music, reading, talking and sharing with others, feeling that pain over and seeing it a different way, are all great ways to deal with trauma. If you don't acknowledge the pain, it stays with you, and it hurts worse.

      The whole point that you see in the end is that Dr Kapoor reacted so personally and badly to it is because he has unresolved trauma from his time in the Indian Army as well

    • @youcantdiealonewithcats
      @youcantdiealonewithcats 8 днів тому

      I agree. But I also think both of the doctors were a little bit right. The therapist was right to choose such a profound, relevant tragedy for their play. And the one guy's doctor who stepped in to play his part was also right, because he knows that everyone is moving and healing at their own pace, which makes it a bit of a risk for so many in a fragile mental place to do such a vulnerable play, and so he offered to play his part for him because he wasn't ready. Individuals will usually know when they are ready or not. So it was a good representation of that and also of how two people and two things can be right at once. I hope the fact that a fellow soldier (his own doctor) could perform such a role gives the one not ready, the faith and hope that one day he can and will be ready and strong enough, too. Maybe it won't manifest in another chance to do a play, but it showed him that you can go on living a life worth living.

    I worked in a top flight university medical center with some of the brightest medical professionals. After working with patients all day, they'd drive home, watch House, and then discuss it the next day amongst themselves. That speaks rheems about the quality of the writing on the program.

    I could never have PTSD. Well, except for one sound, I am mentally free of anything that happened while I was in Iraq and Afghanistan. A total of 16 years there working as a DOD contractor. The average soldier might spend two or maybe three tours 9 months long at a time in a war zone.
    WE contractors get hit with the same dangers as any soldier. WE become the innocent targets unable to shoot back. We perform our long 7 day a week duties as if nothing bad is going to happen, but it does.
    When there was ever in-coming, an alarm would go off as an intermittent musical note. It would sound as the Katushka rockets would launch so you knew something was on the way and fast. Sometimes you might get a 30 second heads up but most of the time it was 5 seconds. NO time to run to a concrete bunker IF you were even near one. Most of the working buildings/offices were NOT protected or had Kevlar roofs like the DEFACs.
    From day one when I would hear that alarm note, my butt would pucker.
    It's a note played of impending doom.
    You know something bad is coming and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
    When I got back to the US for good, I'd occasionally hear that note in the whine of a motor or maybe for just a split second on the radio or even on a TV show that was about the Iraq/Afghanistan war.
    It still makes my butt pucker but there is nothing else that follows.
    I suppose that stepped on mine click that a soldier felt/heard in Vietnam gave them the same feeling. Of course there was a way to get out of that situation by putting the same weight on the mine button as you slip your food off. A rock or ammo box works.
    AS for any mortars or rockets landing near me, only one time in all those years and it was a dud.

    You can't force a man to release his own pain. I'm the first to say "I don't know what it means to be a soldier" I wasn't in a war. My father was, he fought in Vietnam, and died young at home. I understand why he would choose a play, but at the same time, it seemed somewhat immoral.

      Then those vets need to be tracked down, brought in for help, and get them what they need to no longer be on the streets. I don't know of any homeless vets, only the ones I see when I go in to the military hospital for medical appointments. It's not that I don't think that there aren't any, it's that I think there's a breakdown in the system that needs to be fixed, because the military is all for helping all those in the military family. At least they have been in the last 50 years that I've been part of it. Yes, there are problems every now and then, but helping vets has always been the goal.

    I literally don't give a crap about the politics of it. I know there's a political hot button in saying this, but it has nothing to do with my personal opinion. Saying "sharing your/my/their truth" makes me instantly dislike you. First off here's THE truth. If something is true it's true, it's not MY truth or YOUR truth it's THE truth or it's not. Second it just sounds like you are being pretentious. Everyone who ever says that thinks they are the smartest person in the room. It's not something you ever hear a normal, likeable person say. Its always some tryhard who lives on the Internet.
