Diet Guru, 72, Is Still Critical After Fall
From Times Wire Reports
Diet promoter and author Dr. Robert C. Atkins remained in critical condition following surgery for severe head injuries he suffered in a fall on an icy sidewalk, his spokesman said.
A colleague rushed Atkins, 72, to a hospital after he fell Tuesday in Midtown Manhattan, spokesman Richard Rothstein said.
The extent of Atkins’ impairment might not be known for a few days, Rothstein said.
“There is no change in his condition. That’s not a good thing and it’s not a bad thing.”
