| My husband was diagnosed with PTSD/OCD..IU...and
Depression, all service connected. The stressors were from being
raped for 6 months by Sergeant Major B _ _ _ _ _ _, and two tours in
Viet Nam... This led to alcoholism and suicide attempts (3), and
daily thoughts of suicide. Extremely uncontrollable high blood
pressure. He was being medicated through the VA and was 100%
disabled for all these stressors. Medication had warnings that they
could cause massive heart attacks and/or convulsions. The statement is from a judge to me, in a video conference in Washington DC, was precisely this.... He wants only a opinion from a medical Dr. if these stressors could cause a massive heart attack, Only an opinion.... Not from my husbands medical history, just an opinion.. The judge repeated this several times. I would appreciate any opinion as to whether this could happen. Thank you very much.. Jan Laramee |
| ... needed a doctor opinion whether health ailments after
service, and massive heart attack that took his life ... could have been from his service in Vietnam & stress factors Judge said he had to have a doctor opinion on this point (turns out they had a child who died of leukemia at age 4) Here is a doctor opinion: "Dear Margaret: Dr. Rea says that yes, it is possible that the heart attack could have been caused by health issues that changed him after service in Vietnam. Ellie for Dr. Rea" William J. Rea, M.D., is a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with a strong passion for the environmental aspects of health and disease. Founder of the Environmental Health Center (EHC-D) http://www.ehcd.com/ Contact him and I'm sure he will put his opinion in writing for you. |
