Beloved college basketball broadcaster Dick Vitale posted an emotional video of himself and his doctor on Wednesday when he got some amazing news. With his voice breaking and tears in his eyes, Vitale asked Dr. Zeitels to repeat what he told him.
“His exam today, looks tremendous,” the doctor said. “He’s healed the areas on his vocal cord that had the dysplasia and that had been traumatized because of the enthusiasm.”
He also added that Vitale is about 80% healed and he can go back to speaking. Vitale was diagnosed with dysplasia on the vocal cords in December and eventually it was decided he couldn’t call any more games for the rest of the season.
