Why We Do It
Sunday Nov 18, 2018
Sunday Nov 18, 2018
In the world of medicine we focus intently on advancements, improving patient outcomes, and pushing the bounds of science to better health, yet rarely as clinicians do we sit down to have detailed conversations with the very people we are trying to help or have helped.
It is a great privilege for us to speak with one person whose case was described in the episode Do What You Can, Air Force EOD TSgt Daniel Fye. Dan shares what it was like getting wounded by an IED in Afghanistan with the surprising symptom of unquenchable thirst to recovery & rehabilitation requiring him to regrow part of his remaining leg. Dan is an incredible example of perseverance, resilience, and strength all of which are exemplified by his recent completion of the fire academy & becoming a Firefighter.
Dan’s story reminds us that this is Why We Do It.
We respectfully remember the friend’s of TSgt Fye mentioned in the episode,
TSgt Kristoffer M. Solesbee & SSgt Joseph J. Hamski KIA May 26, 2011
Shorabak district, Kandahar, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
