  • CBS News greeted Lonnie Quinn joyfully back to the office after his two -month absence
  • The meteorologist suffered a traumatic brain injury in March, which required a two -month break
  • At first he thought it was a concussion and encouraged his viewers to be careful with the recovery for every head injury

The CBS New York Newsroom celebrates the return of its chief meteorologist after a significant brain injury.

Lonnie Quinn, the main weather anchor at WCBS TV, which also appears in CBS Evening News, suffered a traumatic brain injury in March and took about two months a break to recover.

He returned to the office on Monday, May 5th – and now CBS will share a look at the special moment that his employees reset.

In a video released on Tuesday, CBS New York conquered employees, the Quinn, 61, and clapping when he went through the office after months. In the background of the heart -warming scene, one person even waved a “number 1” finger.

“It was a very serious head injury,” said Quinn by station. “When the MRI came back, the doctors came in and said 'Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. This is actually a traumatic brain injury, not just a concussion. They have to be unemployed for six to eight weeks, calm and relaxation.' ”

Quinn initially thought that he had a concussion after he had “taken a gelding on my head” in March, he said on Mondays. Then he went to the hospital to confirm that there were no internal bleeding in his brain and his negative CT scan meant that he could go home.

For a short time afterwards he lost the view from his left eye. “I couldn't continue,” he recalled. But it came quickly and dissolved just as quickly and took about 15 minutes. ”

After Quinn completed the news program that day, there was a CBS intelligence director – “who really looks for her people,” he said that Quinn could not go home and that he had to go to the hospital.

“When you hit your head, your brain recovers well, but it only recovers while the body is sleeping,” he said.

“Listen, I missed you more than you know,” he said to his employees. “I mean, this is a business in which we are connected to what we are doing and I'm certainly connected to you.”
