In the last week of the program we visited the Musee Service de Sante des Armees. I thought this museum was so interesting. There were so many paintings of soldiers being treated after the war and of tools that were utilized to treat soldiers. Physical injuries are not the only thing a soldier comes home with but also mental injuries as well. PTSD affects many soldiers because of the intense environment and psychological distress experienced during war. Now a days, there is therapy that can reduce the effects of PTSD and medicine but regardless, PTSD takes months if not years to recover from.
