Injured deputy shows improvement
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy Cynthia Hall sat up in a chair for a few hours Monday. When asked how she was feeling, she said, “I’m fine,” according to her doctor, Jeffrey Salomone, a trauma surgeon at Grady Hospital.
Hall was listed in critical but stable condition and remains in the intensive care unit. She remains groggy, but she is communicating with family members.
Hall, who had been on a ventilator, is now breathing on her own, but she will need some rehabilitation for a bruise on her brain, Salomone said.
“The injury has affected her consciousness,” Salomone said. “People just don’t wake up from this like they do on TV. Clearly her brain was damaged … but I’m not expecting it to be permanent.”
