First Responders in Florida Aren’t Covered for PTSD. That May Change After Parkland. — ProPublica

I found this quite shocking. You cant just send these guys into death zones and then turn away when it affects them.

The UK is no better on the whole but our police do have a decent union which looks after its members.

Good point.

I have been through several high traumatic stress situations in life, the last thing that would be helpful is labeling it and using it as a crutch.

Sure we can. Been doing it for years. That doesn't mean we should.

I get what you are saying here, but to me, if anything at all is needed because of what takes place, it should be provided because at the end of the day maybe those who respond first do not owe the rest of us anything. Why shouldn't those who run towards a fire instead of away from it get something in return for the service that they perform, especially if things do not fare well for them when the dust has finally settled?

God bless you and those who act first always!!!
