DR. GINGRAS INTERVIEW |
SECTION 11: POST-LIBERATION A. SINCE YOUR LIBERATION, HAVE YOU SPENT MUCH TIME IN HOSPITAL? Yes. B. HOW MANY TIMES WERE YOU HOSPITALIZED? About six. C. WERE THESE HOSPITALIZATIONS DUE TO PROBLEMS RELATED TO YOUR HAVING BEEN A PRISONER OF WAR IN A JAPANESE PRISON CAMP? I think so. I know I have curvature of the spine from carrying mine props. I also have ulcers. D. IS IT YOUR FEELING THAT THE INCARCERATION IN A JAPANESE PRISON CAMP HAS JEOPARDIZED YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH? It certainly injured my physical health, but I am not too sure about mentally. I've always been an optimistic fellow and looked on the bright side. I always had hope. |
