Show Notes
In Part 2 of our chat with, former Royal Australian Army Medical Corps Sergeant McQuilty 'Coco' Quirke NSC, Coco will be talking about fighting demons from his tour of Iraq and overcoming PTSD arising from that deployment.
Deploying again in 2011 in Afghanistan McQuilty's life changed forever when on 13 August 2011, he was blown out of the back of the Bush Master after hitting an IED. He received life-threating wounds but fought courageously and with great determination to overcome what many would never have survived. By cultivating a positive mindset and developing resilience, Coco was well on the road to recovery.
