On this weeks episode of Doc Talks we sit down with Mikel Brooks.
Two tours in the middle east. The second, as a combat engineer, clearing roadside bombs. With each explosion, a shockwave pierced his body. "The vibrations from it can separate your soft tissues," he explained. After every one, he went back out. "If you weren't bleeding," he said, "if you weren't missing a limb, you got up and went out. A headache and dizzy, you got over it and you did your job."…
"I overdosed on heroine," he admitted. The purple heart and valor-decorated Army veteran had had enough. "I was lost. That's the only way I know how to explain it."
After his suicide attempt Mikel looked for a place to make a difference in the world. That’s when he founded We Are The 22, W.A.T. for short. WAT is a veteran suicide task force.
Be sure to listen to this story of how he lost it all, but then learned the best way to have love and acceptance is to give it away.
