back to subject.

i liked the piece of research. anything which assists in the recognition and treatment of PTSD is good news.

and so what if the researcher is critical of the militarys' handling of PTSD - i believe florence nightingale had some choice comments to make about military medical support. didn't do her any harm.

big statement time

i had PTSD when i came back from bosnia the first time, i was nineteen and had seen things that made my eyes bleed. it was my first operational tour and we saw things that hadn't happened in europe for 50 years.

fortunately it was spotted quickly and i receieved excellent treatment, my army career continued and i was subsequently commisioned. i treat it like a knee injury - i go about my job as before, i'm just a bit careful when i get a twinge.

good luck to this lass.
