(WRAL News) – A young man from Wake Forest has had a long 11 months in coming back from a traumatic brain injury.
John Walter, 19, was in a coma in WakeMed’s intensive care unit for weeks following the June 18 crash on Falls River Drive in a north Raleigh neighborhood.
Walter was one of several patients celebrated by WakeMed on Thursday in a recognition of those who overcame life-altering injuries thanks to their medical teams. His perseverance is a fitting tribute during National Trauma Awareness Month. CONTINUE
