More Benefits for Veterans with PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PSTD, is a ailment affecting many people in the world. This is a common disorder affecting United States veterans, who have to fight to receive benefits, such as retirement and disability, after serving their country. There are some existing organizations, such as Bart Stichman's National Veterans Legal Services program, that are taking legal action to see to it that these respectable veterans are being cared for in ways that will improve their quality of life.

I have an immense respect for the men and women who risk their lives to protect our country and feel that they should be allowed more resources to recover from their difficult careers and the resulting trauma they may experience. Let's hope that such efforts, much like the event covered in the article, are able to win those benefits successfully.

Hospital's Trauma Center Revived!

For trauma patients, it is imperative that they have the necessary facilities, resources, and support for healing. With certain budget cuts and complications with contract renewals, some hospitals, like Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, have come close to losing these centers for trauma recovery. The fact that this center could be saved is extremely significant for the patients who depend on it. They would have otherwise needed to transfer to other facilities and deal with more stress than needed. The experienced doctors at Memorial, like Dr. McVicker, have been especially important to the special patients there who can receive the medically attention they need in an area close to home. Good news in trauma is always welcomed and appreciated!
