Greg Galeazzi on his Tour of Duty in Afghanistan

Reclaiming Life after Trauma

Resilience. Recovery. Hope. 

Few people embody these words like Greg Galeazzi—a U.S. Army veteran, doctor, and dedicated husband and father. 

While deployed in Afghanistan in 2011, Greg’s platoon was hit by an IED during a regular foot patrol—causing him to lose both of his legs and most of his right arm. After a grueling recovery process, Greg adjusted to a new life as an amputee, in which he met his wife, had two children, and began a new career in medicine. Last week, on the 11th anniversary of his injury, Greg graduated from Harvard Medical School and begins his career as a doctor serving people with physical disabilities and injuries like his own.

In this episode of Beyond the Prescription, Dr. McBride and Greg talk about how trauma affects our health, redefining what we think is possible, and finding success even in the most unimaginable moments.

Discussion about this podcast

Are You Okay?
Beyond the Prescription
Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical facts, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over what we can change.
