kshow 163 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 From The Facebook of Maurice DuBois: Dear friends and colleagues, I'm taking some time off because I've been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, a temporary condition which has caused weakness on the right side of my face. My doctors say the prognosis is good once it runs its course. Thanks so much for your concern and well-wishes; I look forward to getting back to work as soon as possible. Maurice Looks like he will be out for some time until he gets better. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Doing a little research, he is likely very lucky. It sounds like the condition can just pop up overnight. B.P. is the term used for the temporary paralysis only after more serious afflictions like strokes and tumors have been ruled out. B.P. is typically resolved within days or even a few weeks.

rkolsen 1675 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's a scary thing. My uncle had a bout with it. John Sudworth, a BBC reporter based in Shanghai, dealt with it and here's a link to a video showing different clips over the course of a year of his recovery.

nynewslover 269 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 FIRST and most importantly praying for Maurice and happy to hear he's getting better. Second a question.. Why are they using Chris at night? They can easily use Dana Tyler, Alice Gainer, Dick Brennan or even reporters like Brian Conybeare or someone who can cover both newscasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnbc2016 23 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cause he is prob eyeing for an evening slot. Even if it doesn't effect Maurice he might be put on at 6 with Dana again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you related to Brian Conybeare or are you in fact Brian Conybeare? Almost every one of your posts lately is about this rather unimportant reporter.

Was making a simple suggestion that's all, kind of like everyone else does on every post on this site. Oh and they also have the option of Andrea Grymes, Diane Macedo and Cindy Hsu and Alex Denis. And no I'm not any of them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no I'm not any of them either I was asked the same thing when I suggested Matt Kozar should get a shot at the weekend anchor desk. Funny how I was shot down but WCBS did exactly that.

Newsfan 9 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm watching him on CBS2 at 11 right now and he looks great. I'm so happy he's much better and back in the anchors chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
