But neither the Navy nor my nursing experience could have prepared me for the devastating injuries that had poured in from the Sangin Valley between 2010 and 2011. Then, one night, after rescuing the family dog from a painful, but otherwise insignificant, household accident, I ransacked the bedroom and screamed at the top of my lungs--forcing an unsettling question from my spouse: What's happening to you?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At the urging of a trusted colleague, I was transferred from my station as a hospital director to a locked psychiatric facility called The Willows with other convalescing service members in similar predicaments. There, I meet Riza, a no-nonsense social worker bent on demystifying man-made trauma, both at home and abroad. To pass the program, each patient must compose a combat timeline to be read aloud in The War Room: A place that means more than stories being told...the place where the strongest people in the world share their battles within themselves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With fear and triggers mounting, I must be dying, I think, as Riza begs us to cut through our traumas to live. More sea story than PTSD clinical narrative, Standby follows the--sometimes humorous--cockeyed drama of my recovery at The Willows, and later at home, alerting everyone to the slow and not-so-obvious fallouts of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kari Rhyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Village Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692901458\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Village Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40608958677107,"sku":"9.78069E+12","price":14.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ea78ca64-0ddd-4df2-b005-e4ea133238b7.jpg?v=1669731159","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/standby-for-broadcast-9780692901458","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
