In my own experience with PTSD, which was significantly different from yours (psychological, no physical component), it's common for me to have a strong emotional reaction to being told that you could/should have done something differently and/or to being addressed on the subject in a patronizing tone ("don't you know?"). The reaction has faded (the PTSD incident happened over a decade ago) but a year after it happened, the reaction was still very strong.

I tend to feel anger more readily than guilt when I encounter stupid assumptions about things that my PTSD was about. But the guilt is there underneath.
