HOUSTON -- Doctors at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center have turned to technology to help combat veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Jury.
Medical experts said hard numbers were almost impossible to calculate, but some estimates suggested as many as two out of ten veterans who served in Afghanistan or Iraq have PTSD; many also have TBI.
"They even said that if I would ever come out of the coma they would say that I would be a vegetable," said Javier Negrete, a U.S. Army veteran who served two tours of duty in Iraq in the early 2000s.
