Keeping The Stethoscope, Hanging Up The Uniform!: The Curse of Combat Disability Retirement

About the Book: Keeping the Stethoscope, Hanging up the Uniform! Is not just another book about military life—it’s a raw, unflinching account of what happens after the uniform comes off. Steven Davis, a former Army nurse who traded one battlefield for another, takes readers inside two war zones: the chaos of military and civilian emergency rooms, and the hidden war many veterans fight long after their service ends. With gripping detail, he brings readers into the trauma bay where seconds decide life or death, and then into the quiet darkness where too many veterans confront despair alone. This is not a tale of easy answers or polite slogans. It’s a call to witness the reality behind the statistics, to hear the voices often silenced by stigma and bureaucracy, and to see veterans as more than “thank you for your service.” Told with unrelenting honesty, this book explores sacrifice, survival, and the cost of silence. It challenges readers to rethink what it means to truly support those who once stood on the front lines. About the Author: Since leaving the military, he has continued his service as a civilian ER nurse, carrying forward the lessons, scars, and resilience from his years in uniform. His life’s mission now is to give voice to the struggles of veterans, to fight against indifference, and to speak truths that too often remain unspoken. View Less
