The dream is to have a vaguely-defined "disability". That way, it's retirement after 10, 15, 20 years.
..."We're still going to all the fires and the car accidents and you know all the trauma that we see," Flick said. "But now, the call volume is much higher as well."
Flick said for many of his fellow firefighters, PTSD doesn't typically come from one specific scene. Instead, it builds call after call.
"This is a very real injury, just like any other injury that a firefighter or any one of us might endure," he said. "Well, this is just one that you can't necessarily see."...
Precisely. You can't see it.
Couldn't see it, in fact, until 2020. Funny thing: firemen and cops have been responding to gruesome scenes for.....oh........200 years or so in the US.
Suddenly, there's PTSD.
Bullshit, pal. Got stress? Go be a typist someplace. This job's not for you.
