Recovering from injury, returning to TV, speaking for the wounded
October 28th, 2007From the New York Times: a feature about ABC correspondent Bob Woodruff, who was wounded in Iraq in January 2006. Woodruff sustained brain damage and was in a coma for 36 days, and is now back to work full time. He has also embarked on an unofficial second career, as a voice and fund-raiser for wounded soldiers. He’s hinting at going back to an anchor job some day.
“The good news is that I’m getting my ability to do journalism again,” he said. “It’s probably not going to be 100 percent in the same way it was before. But in some ways I’m 120 percent better than I was before. My wife has even said I was kind of a jerk sometimes, and now I’m not.”
