I'm a nurse, not a SF...yet. With that said, reading this, it seems as if this type of program is long overdue.
I don't have the pill pusher mentality. I believe that there are better ways, holistic ways to treat injuries. That being said, I do believe that there are certain circumstances where medication is very appropriate (acute pain management specifically) In my opinion from what I've seen and dealt with, you're not only healing the body, but also the mind and spirit. I've seen amazing things be accomplished for chronic illnesses through holistic practices.
Again, I have a different aspect of healing than a doctor, a doc looks at how treat the ailment, as nurses focus more on treating the patient.
I think this is a good idea to help aid in the rehab of injured SF and their families. I know from being a military brat that Tricare is a pain when it comes to getting referrals to see some specialties. So a dedicated program to have help like this onsite for the soldier and his family seems invaluable.
Yes, I agree, extra money to the soldier and his families would be a beneficial thing, but I stand with my original statement of how this program seems it would be very beneficial to have medical staff on site to help with injured soldiers.
Interesting to see how this works out.
