BIRMINGHAM, england — The Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in Pakistan is out of a medically induced coma and has recovered enough to stand with assistance and communicate by writing, medical officials at the British hospital where she is being treated said Friday.
David Rosser, a physician who is treating her, said that while Malala Yousufzai, 15, had the "potential" for a full recovery, there was "some damage to the brain, certainly physical," although there was "no deficit in terms of function." She cannot speak yet because of a tracheotomy tube in her throat.
"She seems able to understand. She's got motor control. She's able to write," Rosser said. "Whether there's any subtle intellectual or memory deficits down the line is too early to say."
Rosser noted that her memory leapt from being on the bus in Pakistan where she was shot Oct. 9 to waking in a different country. Had the bullet been "a couple of inches more central," the doctor said, her injury would have been "unsurvivable."
"It's clear that Malala is not out of the woods yet," he told reporters outside the hospital, adding that she is showing some signs of suffering from an infection.
Rosser said the signs of infection were "probably related to the bullet track, which is our key source of concern."
Malala had become an icon of resistance against the Taliban, advocating that girls have access to education. The New York Times
