#146 Blake Cook - America's Scapegoats: The 365-Day Service That Never Stops

Nobody ever got anything. I had a doctor, a neurologist, told me that she thought I had STDs. What? Exactly. I got off the phone with my wife. I'm like, what? And then she ended up getting fired because she was sexually harassing patients. The whole system was broken. To this day, I still don't know what happened.

#146 Blake Cook - America's Scapegoats: The 365-Day Service That Never Stops

I did speech, memory, and physical therapy every day for two years, well, a year and a half. And I got transferred to the Warrior Transition Battalion because I had so many doctor's appointments. And I couldn't ever get an answer. The Army never wanted to admit that they messed up by letting me go back and not fixing me right then. Because that's on them. They let me go back.

I'm sure that that doctor, one, that did the brain scans, there's no way you didn't find that my brain wasn't swelling. Had a nod out to here and I was throwing up with nosebleeds. You just gave me Ambien. I don't know if there was like, hey, we can't just send people to Germany unless you're like, actively died, I don't know, I don't know.

But to this day, I never got answers of what happened to me. I have a medical file that's this thick. I'm 100 total and permanent. But I never got answers. I could never get answers, ever. So for a year and a half, I did speech, memory, and physical therapy with no answers to what was wrong. But whatever they were doing was working. So after a year and a half, I felt normal.

I had all these like shock therapies on my brain. I had these needles put all over. Had all these things done, but nobody ever told me why. Why I'm doing this. Like, oh, you know, you got a brain injury. It's just something we're doing. Something we're testing out. I'm like, I'm not a rat in a lab. What's wrong? What are you doing to fix me? Oh, you know, you have a great care team.

They got it taken care of. Yeah, that's great, but what are they doing to fix me? Have they not explained this to you? No. Bring it up to them. I bring it up to them. Nothing. Nothing. It was horrible. You want to know why guys are killing themselves? Because they can't get answers. You don't care.

You're a civilian or you're in the military and you're not giving people the answers that they need because you don't care. Something's wrong with me. What is wrong with me? If the army fucked up, that's fine. I'm not going to blame the army. But nobody ever told me what was wrong. So I got released from the pipeline. I had this little ceremony, whatever. They're like, oh, this is successful.
