"War Stories
From Ward 7d" |
| This sobering report on the range of brain injuries caused by Improvised Explosive Devices in Iraq focuses on four soldiers recovering at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California. The reporting team gained intimate access to patients, portraying the physical and sometimes invisible neurological traumas they sustained from IEDs. The program reveals that Traumatic Brain Injuries are more prevalent in Iraq than expected and harder to diagnose. Because of the nature of insurgency warfare, brain injuries have become the signature injury of the Iraq conflict. |
