Charles Krauthammer On Health Related Fox News Absence “Debilitating Effects Of Surgery”

Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer has released a statement on his absence from Fox News saying he is now focusing on a tough recovery from a recent surgery.

Krauthammer, 67, has been missing from his duties at Fox News for months as he recovers from complications with a recent surgery. He issued the following update on his status and when he might return to “Special Report.”

“Special Report,” host Bret Baier passed along the message from the syndicated columnist after the re-airing of a Krauthammer’s life story documentary produced by Fox News.

In the statement, Krauthammer said, “This being my first ‘vacation’ from Fox since I began there years ago, I should be enjoying the layoff, except for the fact that I have to work hard — my doctors compare it to marathon training — to offset the debilitating effects of the surgery. I watch the show just about every night and it is consistently splendid: the best newscast on television. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’ll be back as soon as I can!”

Krauthammer became paralyzed below the waist in a diving accident while he attended Harvard Medical School as a young man. He later put psychiatry on pause to explore journalism, eventually winning a Pulitzer Prize 1987. source
