It seems impossible, but it's not impossible. And so they encouraged me personally: hey, file for ringing in the ears.
Ever wondered how government policies can shape the lives of veterans long after they’ve left the battlefield? In this eye-opening episode of 'American Medicine Today', retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Daniel Gade dives into the unintended consequences of current VA policies. As the co-author of 'Wounding Warriors: How Bad Policy is Making Veterans Sicker and Poorer', Gade brings a unique perspective, blending personal experience with in-depth research.
He shares stories of veterans like Matt and Jeff, whose post-service lives took drastically different turns based on their interactions with the VA's disability system. One embraced the VA's narrative and applied for disability, while the other chose a different path, leading to significantly better outcomes. Gade doesn't just highlight problems; he emphasizes the urgent need for societal change in how we support and value our veterans.
If you’re curious about the real impact of these policies and want to understand how we can better support those who’ve served, this episode is a must-listen.
