USA. Los Angeles. July 2025. Ji Kim, 45, in Sarah Ko’s office at the hospital. Kim served in the US Army for five years, including a tour of duty in Afghanistan. After two years, he developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and started looking for a job. He initially aspired to be a police officer. But as his parents wanted him to save lives, he drastically changed his path to a job that did not involve carrying a weapon. ’l became a devil, l was not human anymore, l was my own enemy,’ he said. He decided to become a nurse at the age of 30. While he was eating at Dollar Burger to save money for a year, his family sent him money.
