  • Thank you for bringing awareness! ❤️

    As a physician and a daughter of an EOD soldier, thank you so much for bringing Operator Syndrome into the spotlight. I also enjoyed episode 95. We can’t make progress if we don’t come together to talk about these things. Thank you for all you do for our veterans!
