Invisible Wounds Series on The Humans of New York Site 2 Invisible Wounds on the Humans of New York Site: Article Summary: The section that I chose to read was the Invisible Wounds Series and the article that I chose to write about talked about a veteran that served in Afghanistan. He was a medic in a conflict zone and talked about a trauma that he had to face while he was over there and what it would be like to come home. This man talked about a time where these men came running up to him, yelling something that he could not understand. When they got close enough all he could see was blood covered blankets, and when he peeled all those blankets off, he found a little girl. This little girl was playing soccer and ran over a landmine. She had no legs from the knee down and no arms from the elbow down and she was bleeding badly. She was screaming, but in the article, he said, “that he was trained to sound out the screaming,” he then patched her up and stopped the bleeding enough for the helicopter to get her to a hospital. But he said they do not train you for what happens after the helicopter leaves, the silence (Humans of New York, 2016). After he talked about that little girl, he talked about all the things that he built up in his head for when he got home. When he got home, he was alone and left to be alone with the thoughts that he blocked out for months. How did the Series relate to the Sociological Health Issues and other Sociological concepts or Theories: This series shows the vulnerability that the Armed Forces has toward mental illnesses. This article talks about a little girl that he had to fix up, and they talk about how they teach you to block out the screaming, but they do not teach you about the silence after. When individuals are dealing with trauma and/or tragic events that are happening especially overseas and away from

Invisible Wounds Series on The Humans of New York Site 3 home, it can become difficult for them to maintain themselves or a healthy lifestyle. Suppose that this man went home and was alone and would have succumbed to the thoughts that he had been having. This man talked about being alone and not having anyone to come back to when he was overseas. This man talked about what was going through his head when he was alone and what he was thinking about. When dealing with the traumas and/or tragic events that happen during the time of war to an individual but when someone has been dealing with those things should be sent to a counselor to check on their mental status. There are many individuals that have been in the Armed Forces past and present that have succumbed to their thoughts and their darkness and decided to end their lives. Over five hundred individuals that were in the Armed Forces in 2021 committed suicide that year. Dealing with everything that a solider has to deal with on a day to day during combat should have to seek a mental health counselor. The military higher officials should use the Functionalists Approach and realize that if there are too many soldiers that succumb to their mental illnesses that the functioning of their branch or the military will begin to suffer (Braswell and Kushner, 2012). Healthier soldiers (Even for Mental Health) mean for a better result for everyone.
