Biography
Dr. Ford Vox is a medical journalist and commentator who serves as medical analyst for Public Broadcasting Atlanta and writes frequently for CNN.com. As an investigative journalist, Vox has twice taken on Amazon.com: first over illegal sales of prescription drugs and later, caffeine powder. He wrote wide-ranging reports for The Atlantic, ranging from an expose on how the orthopedic device industry influenced the numbers of American spine surgeons, an exploration of how a Texas newspaper got hoodwinked into helping Scientology in its battle against psychiatry, a challenge to the role of Georgia’s doctors in the state’s death penalty, and essays on media ethics. At CNN, Vox aims to apply fresh insight to the biggest stories, tackling topics like Prince’s death, Maria Sharapova’s suspension, health policy communication and physician gag laws. In his medical practice, Vox is specialist in brain injury medicine, overseeing the care in one of Shepherd Center’s two inpatient brain injury units. He graduated from Rhodes College and received his medical training at the University of Alabama, Washington University in St. Louis and Boston University.

By Ford Vox| Newsweek Verified Late last year, the world was captivated by the story of Rom Houben, a Belgian man who suffered a traumatic brain injury and was misdiagnosed for 23 years as being in a vegetative state. In fact, media outlets reported breathlessly, Houben had been conscious the whole time, trapped inside his motionless body, until a heroic doctor used cutting-edge scans to find normal brain activity.
