Mike Lozano from Steamboat Springs was interviewed by NPR’s Jon Hamilton to draw attention to arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a condition linked to prolonged use of shoulder-fired rockets during his service. Lozano aims to shed light on the health impacts experienced by veterans, emphasizing the need for awareness and proper medical support.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The article sheds light on an important yet under-discussed issue affecting those who have served in the military. Highlighting the specific health conditions that can arise from the use of military equipment emphasizes the need for specialized medical research and support for veterans. This awareness can drive the development of better health tracking and treatment technologies, perhaps even inspiring innovative health-monitoring apps specifically tailored for military personnel and veterans.
