days after a roadside bomb in Afghanistan blew off his legs and an arm, Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was lying in a military hospital in Germany in excruciating pain. Thinking about his family and all the things he might never do again, the Michigan native considered ending it all.
“I quit,” he told a friend, according to his new book about his ordeal “Tough As They Come,” which is out on Tuesday.
But Mills – whose other arm was removed a few days after the April 2012 explosion, making him only one of five surviving quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan– refused to give into the suicidal thoughts. The phantom pain that he was enduring vanished following an experimental treatment in which he was given large doses of the drug Ketamine and put into a coma.
