Brain injury nurses "miracle workers"RSS Feed

Nurses who helped a brain injury patient in his rehabilitation programme have been described as "miracle workers".

Lee Woodruff, the wife of head trauma-sufferer Bob, made the comment at an Alvernia University lecture earlier this week, the Reading Eagle relayed.

Bob was struck down with the ailment while working as an anchorman for ABC News.

During a war reporting assignment in Iraq in 2006, he was hit in the skull by a piece of shrapnel.

Mr Woodruff has since made progress in his recovery, but still struggles with his speech due to suffering from aphasia.

Speaking at the lecture about the medical staff that have been helping him along the road to recovery, Mrs Woodruff said: "You are saints. Even on the worst day when you've had a fight with your spouse and are grumpy, you make a difference to someone like me."

The rehab team at Moncton Hospital also recently received praise for their work with brain injury patients.

Car crash survivor Monique Pruneau has got behind a campaign to raise cash for the medical centre, according to the Times & Transcript.
