Introduction

Medics in Australia’s special forces in Afghanistan discuss trauma, endurance and growth after losing peers and treating mortally injured children.

Outline

About trauma, resilience and post-traumatic growth in the medics who served with Australia’s special forces in Afghanistan. From losing mates in the battlefield to treating horrifically injured Afghan kids in remote surgical theatres.

Voodoo Medics are Australia’s best combat healers who combine “unconventional medicine and unconventional warfare”. Journalist Kristin Shorten sat down with six medics, the soldiers they treated in Afghanistan and the families of those killed overseas.

You can hear podcasts with the medics here.
