Z-Pack, greetings, it's your boy Dr. Zibin Imanya, aka Z-Dog MD. I apologize for my voice. I'm getting through a cold that either Logan or my children gave me. I'm not sure there's a distinction between my children and Logan. They're both adorable.

Anyways, today it's kind of a serious show, but I want to make sure we honor the memory of the three heroines in Yandhil who lost their lives doing what we all do every day in healthcare, which is try to help other people.

In particular, they had the hardest job of almost anybody, which is reintegrating our veterans who served our country. They come back and they're trying to fit back into society, and it's so hard when you've seen things that no human being should see.

It sounds like we don't know enough about the shooter in this case, but it sounds like he was a marksman in Afghanistan and had PTSD, was in this program, pathway home, and had a lot of issues and came in and did the unthinkable.

Three amazing brave women lost their lives who I consider members of our tribe of healthcare. Christine Lober, Jen Golik, and Jen Gonzalez.

Her last name is a tough one. Shasha Reba is her married name, Jennifer Gonzalez. These were young, vibrant, wonderful human beings to hear everybody speak of them.

I got so many messages from people who knew them and said they were just wonderful humans. I'm going to read one of them on the show, but I want to back up a second and for people who don't know what's happening.

Yantville, California, and the Napa Valley, one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's where I go. I think I did a live from there a couple years back or a year back when our family was on vacation, tasting wine and going to wineries. It's this beautiful, idyllic, French countryside-like location.

I have a lot of colleagues who work in the Napa Valley. It's a hotbed for healthcare as well. Very close to San Francisco. In Yantville, it's impossible to miss. It's this huge veterans home that's been around for I think over 100 years. On the campus of that veterans home,

an outside entity pathway home, which is a program that helps to integrate veterans back into the community when they come home, particularly those who are suffering with PTSD. It can be very, very hard in our veterans know that. People who work with veterans know that. People who work at the VA know that.

We in this country have this habit. We've violated the Pottery Barn Rule, which is if you drop something and break it, you buy it, you own it, you fix it. We don't do that with our veterans. So what happens is they go off and fight the wars for us. It's a volunteer army.

They come back and having seen all the stuff that they see, mental illness, substance abuse, depression, suicide, all these things. Reintegrating with their own families and loved ones is often a nordial and often ends in a fatality. The veteran.

Suicide is a huge problem with PTSD. So for all those reasons, we have underfunded the treatment. We've stigmatized mental illness in the military itself. We don't have enough research and funding into treating and managing PTSD.

Then you have a program like Pathway Home that actually got pretty locally and nationally famous featured in a movie, featured in a book that actually uses great techniques to reintegrate soldiers who are suffering with PTSD.

These three women worked at that facility in Yantville at the veterans home when Albert Wong came, crashed a party that was a going away party for one of the members of Pathway Home.

By the way, how many of us have thrown these parties for our fellow health care workers who are moving to different jobs or leaving or having a birthday or whatever?

Imagine one of your ex-patients who was recently dismissed from the program by the director, Christine Lover.
