After being hit on the head about 14 times with a hammer during an attack on the subway, Nina Rothschild faced a lot of rehabilitation. But she healed and was able to take a vacation to Sicily this summer.Nina Rothschild left work late on February 24, 2022. As she walked down the stairs of the New York City subway, she felt someone hit her on the head with what she thought was a baseball bat.
“When I was still on the subway steps where I’d been assaulted, I touched my head with the back of my hand and became upset,” she said. “I don’t remember any pain at all. To recovery from foot drop, vertigo and a broken hand required a lot of physical and occupational therapy.“She was quite good actually when I first met her,” Dr. Justin Schwarz, a neurosurgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, told TODAY. “But she had quite a few complex lacerations right down to her bone and obviously the impact of the hammer had caused her fracture her bone right in the top of her head in multiple locations to the point where they were quite depressed.
While Rothschild experienced “some bruising of her brain right under where she had the hardest blow,” she experienced very little injury to her brain. She has— caused by the attack and some “post-concussive” like symptoms. She also sustained a fracture of her left hand, and she experienced benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which made her feel as if she was spinning, at times.
