From Battlefield to Birth Trauma: Lauren Palladini’s Fight for Justice in Military Medicine
This week’s guest, Lauren Palladini, is a former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division whose life took a harrowing turn—not on the battlefield, but in a military hospital. At just 22 years old, Lauren experienced a catastrophic case of military medical malpractice during childbirth at Womack Army Medical Center. A lacerated uterine artery was left undiagnosed and concealed, leading to weeks of life-threatening hemorrhaging, multiple emergency surgeries, and a permanent hysterectomy.
But Lauren refused to stay silent.
In response, she co-founded Coalition of Heroes, a nonprofit organization dedicated to confronting medical malpractice in the military. The Coalition works to raise awareness, educate the public, and advocate for the voices of those harmed by preventable errors within the military healthcare system.
In this powerful episode, Lauren shares her story of trauma, resilience, and advocacy—and why she’s determined to spark lasting reform.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• What happened during Lauren’s traumatic childbirth experience & the chilling words of those who were charged with her care
• The systemic issues behind military medical malpractice
• Why accountability is so difficult to achieve in the military healthcare system
• How Coalition of Heroes is helping victims and driving change
• What civilians and veterans alike need to know about this often-hidden issue

• Womack Army Medical Center
