Dr. Ronald Glasser has been writing about the medical costs of war ever since he served in an Army hospital during Vietnam. Today, he writes about the signature weapon used against U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan —the improvised explosive device. Dr. Glasser will be visiting Chapel Hill and Raleigh this weekend to discuss the legacy of these weapons: everything from traumatic head injuries and amputations, to post-traumatic stress and a new form of “shell shock.”
