The National Brain-Wounded Veteran Brain Drain
Author: Eric W. Koleda
Publisher: TreatNOW.org
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), the “invisible wounds” and the “signature injuries” to US service members, number over eight hundred thousand. The costs of those injuries over time have not been adequately tallied. The DoD, VA and medicine in general use an inadequate protocol that treats symptoms and fails to treat underlying brain wounds. It is fair to say that costs continue to escalate partly as a result of politics brought about by medicine’s unwillingness to accept worldwide science and evidence of new, non-standard treatments that are healing brain wounds. Annually, millions of people in the US sustain TBIs and Concussions. Over a quarter of million are hospitalized and survive. According to CDC estimates, 1.6 to 3.8 million sports and recreation related concussions occur each year in the U.S. Over 80,000 experience the onset of long-term disability. Acquired brain trauma is the second most prevalent disability in the U.S., now estimated at 13.5 million Americans. A war lasting twenty years has coincided with interrelated epidemics of suicide, opioid overdoses, and mental health deterioration in the military services. $118.1 billion per year is the current annual economic impact on our country by TBI veterans who live with untreated, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed brain wounds. The costs are spread across a complex of known impacts. It includes Veteran homelessness, loss of state and federal income taxes, sales taxes, vehicle taxes, drug and opioid induced costs, non-taxable VA and Social Security disability payments, state incarceration and hospitalization costs, pharmaceuticals, and caregiver costs. The costs of the moral, mental, social and behavioral damage are hard to quantify. The financial modeling approach used in this study reflects the estimated economic impact to each state and our country’s annual tax revenues and expenses. A similar analysis is done to assess the costs of treating and healing brain wounds with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and other proven alternative, functional medicine interventions. This contrasts with the current standard of care: merely treating symptoms and palliating pain and suffering with drugs. Treating and healing brain wounds, now possible, can reverse the suicide epidemic among service members and brake accelerating costs; improve Quality of Life for the wounded and their families; and affect military readiness and national security. The cost savings are profound: Treating the estimated 877,000+ brain-wounded post-9/11 Veterans with Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) and other proven alternative therapies will cost an estimated $19.7 Billion. That is less than ½ of one percent of the $4.7 Trillion 40-year lifetime costs attributable to NOT treating those brain wounds. Recommendations include: Immediate use of proven alternative therapies such as HBOT to arrest the suicide epidemic and heal wounded brains; implementation of a comprehensive plan to promote a collaborative, prospective TBI treatment agenda, with the sense of urgency that epidemics demand; URGENT DoD and VA efforts to develop coordinate, and implement a measurement-based TBI management system that documents patients’ progress over the course of treatment and long-term follow-up; highest priority assigned to ensure DoD and VA medical personnel are fulfilling their medical ethical obligations of “Informed Consent” about current alternative treatments, science and the need for immediate identification and treatment of a brain wounded service members; independent audits of all mental health statistics and numbers coming out of DoD and the VA, along with budget numbers masking total costs for TBI Veterans; and application of the principles of Functional Medicine in assessing and treating all combat veterans.

Our Year of War
Author: Daniel P. Bolger
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0306903245
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Two brothers -- Chuck and Tom Hagel -- who went to war in Vietnam, fought in the same unit, and saved each other's life. They disagreed about the war, but they fought it together. 1968. America was divided. Flag-draped caskets came home by the thousands. Riots ravaged our cities. Assassins shot our political leaders. Black fought white, young fought old, fathers fought sons. And it was the year that two brothers from Nebraska went to war. In Vietnam, Chuck and Tom Hagel served side by side in the same rifle platoon. Together they fought in the Mekong Delta, battled snipers in Saigon, chased the enemy through the jungle, and each saved the other's life under fire. But when their one-year tour was over, these two brothers came home side-by-side but no longer in step -- one supporting the war, the other hating it. Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and his brother Tom epitomized the best, and withstood the worst, of the most tumultuous, shocking, and consequential year in the last half-century. Following the brothers' paths from the prairie heartland through a war on the far side of the world and back to a divided America, Our Year of War tells the story of two brothers at war -- a gritty, poignant, and resonant story of a family and a nation divided yet still united.

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309142393
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Harmonising Regulatory and Antitrust Regimes for International Air Transport
Author: Jan Walulik
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351134892
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Harmonising Regulatory and Antitrust Regimes for International Air Transport addresses the timely and problematic issue of lack of uniformity in legal standards for international civil aviation. The book focuses on discrepancies within the regulatory and antitrust framework, comprehensively reveals the major legal limitations and conflicts, and presents possible solutions thereto. It discusses possible strategies for multilateralisation and defragmentation of air law, and for international harmonisation of airline economic regulation with fair competition standards. This discussion extends to competition between air transport law and other legal regimes as well as to specific regulatory problems related to air transport. The unique feature of the book is that it reconciles distinct perspectives on these issues presented by renowned aviation and aerospace experts who represent the world’s key air transport markets and air law academic centres. By providing unbiased solutions that could serve as a base for future international arrangements, this book will be invaluable for aviation professionals, as well as students and scholars with an interest in air law, economic regulation, antitrust studies, international relations, transportation policy and airline management.
