parking meter how to nashville tennessee the war in iraq is not over but one legacy is already there is a city and others across america an epidemic of brain damaged soldiers thousands of troops have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury or t b i these blasts caused head injuries are so different from ones doctors are used to seeing from falls in car crashes to treating them as much face as it is science i've been in the field for twenty plus years dealing with t b i i have a very experienced staff and they're saying i mean we've all seen things we've never seen said sandy snyder director of vanderbilt university brain injury rehabilitation program doctors also are realizing the symptoms overlap with post post traumatic stress disorder and both must be treated as it may seem brain injury can protect against p t s d by blurring awareness of what happened but as memory improves emotional problems can emerge one of the first graduates of vanderbilt program committed suicide three weeks later of all the ones here he would not have been the one we would have thought snyder said they called to have them a little of fort campbell a guy who planned to go to our school has more troops return from the war brain injuries are growing burden a growing burden for or lifelong symptoms and need continuing care the military estimates of the martyr in severe ones will too though the number of those suffering from t b i is still unknown the problem is straining the u s department of veterans now these young brain injured troops the highest leave specialized care and how much it will help long term is unknown people with t b i frequent headaches dizziness and trouble concentrating or sleeping they may be depressed irritable and confused vote or distracted speech or vision also can be impaired some sufferers have been mis diagnosed with personality disorders others have lost jobs because unrecognized and untreated symptoms it's the so called invisible injury it's where a trip takes ten times the normal time to pack his rucksack it complicated injury to the most complicated part of the body  anxiety vision problems but they lack good treatment for some of these too and are considering some experimental approaches being pushed by private companies with little proof they work when you get no care at all some are sent back to fight with their brain injury undetected especially if they have no obvious wounds what happened to kerry o'brien and brian malone show the scope of this problem o'brien is thirty two year old army staff sergeant from iowa was quad cities was ten years in the lone twenty two is specialist from houghton louisiana in a baghdad gym last summer i told him and his workout partner put some more weight in on it prompted the men to get up seconds later a rock rocket hit where they had step by pressure wave from the blast course through their brains i patted myself down head to toe making sure i wasn't missing a limb and felt like i missing a chunk of my head brian said who remembers little else except walking through the breeze to pick up his i pod and sunglasses as from alone an air conditioning vent had fallen on his head and he had  medication or anything he just sent me back on my way when he later complained of pain doctors gave him motoring then he discovered a trickle of blood from his hip he said he would be five six weeks later when he could barely walk test revealed shrapnel in his hip by then he was having headaches and trouble sleeping o'brian had been through multiple previous explosions troops average one on one study found in which raises the risk the next one will do harm soldiers and marines are proud and reluctant to go off mission just because they got their bell rung said dr michael kilpatrick a top defense department physician most of the treatment is explaining the situation and giving the texture of time giving it time to hear if no big symptoms appear in eight to twelve hours they're probably ready to go back officers also feels pressure to return troops to duty said jordan grafman a neuro scientist who studies t b i at the national institute of health people don't want to lose these guys from their command they can't replace them fast enough during a surprise visit to iraq with president bush on labor day general peter pace chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said military was much smarter about this now and urged troops to watch for signs of t b i and post traumatic stress they are every bit as much battle injuries as is a bullet or sh it is ok it is ok to seek help for these kinds of warnings and i ask you all to help your buddies understand what you see in them but that was long after o'brien was hurt has to be i was not diagnosed for months until  the back and forth campbell in kentucky by then the army needed to treat needed help and was contracting with private rehab centers like schneider's at vanderbilt one of our brian had become friends helping each other were a chunk of the past is missing i don't have any problem remembering the past i have trouble with now o'brien said multiple are complex task compound and irritate people with t b i there appears to challenge them through exercise like a computer game were they run a hot dog stand and must manage the majority surprises to bank in an anticipated demand according to the weather either therapy focuses on life skills like following directions while paying attention to something else i counted three trash cans or brian announced after a scouting mission to find landmarks using a map and tally cancer long the way i counted five said therapist training oh and improving these skills is a clue to live a normal life it's specially driving most of them don't drive it very brings them down they are hit in mailboxes they get lost we draw their maps and live forget when they're supposed to be here snyder said the army gives some if your soldiers palm pilots had their old computers to help manage their lives cost them more for us to miss two appointments than to give us one of these or brian  explained the devices in mental exercises to only so much troops must be able to use information and reason the t b i keeps many of them from being aware of these gaps they don't realize their judgment said vandervelde the neuro psychologist the training that help them in combat situations is hurting them now and guys are taught to be alert at all the time so they sleep poorly their nervous system becomes a part of nato and being constantly on alert to fight or flight alone knows that while i worry about every little thing people breaking into my house loud booms i'm jumping he said i'm going to afghanistan next year said o'brien determined to stay an army and support his daughter who lives with his ex wife in texas i'm trying added malone they're telling me they don't think my brain can take it i think why don't you let me decide doctors don't know whether or easier we'll return but after all they've been through if one does and the other does not it's going to be tough no one said it's going to be tough or whatever one stays back i wish you both well
