This Purple Heart Veteran Is Rethinking PTSD Treatment | Ep. 112Added:
Walk me through the day that you ended up getting blown up and shot.
>> The Taliban hate getting wet. They don't go through canals. And we we had this one little area that we weren't taking it every day. We were taking it enough for it to become kind of like a oh, this is where they get sloppy. I caught a round. Caught three rounds. You caught three rounds?
>> Caught one in the back plate, two in the front striker. And this great bro, they prepped it perfect. Put a pressure plate in it. I remember the two kill cans, that clack. I just couldn't breathe for a second. And it I felt like I got kind of pushed, kind of turning and falling a little bit. Could not stop throwing up.
So, bruised my left lung, bruised my stomach. My brain swelled for them to be like, are we cutting his head open or not?
