Carrie Bickmore Hospitalised as She Seeks Treatment for Serious Vocal Cord Problem

Her Instagram hospital photo signals a move toward medical treatment that could determine whether her voice and radio career recover.

Overview

  • Bickmore shared a photo from a hospital bed on Tuesday showing her resting and captioned it “OK voice … time to come back,” signalling she is pursuing treatment for recurring vocal cord trouble.
  • She has been off-air for about two weeks after telling listeners an ENT specialist warned that continuing to work could cause permanent vocal cord damage.
  • Reports say she is undergoing treatment in hospital but she has not publicly confirmed whether she had or will have surgery to correct the problem.
  • Co-host Tommy Little and listeners have publicly supported her absence from The Carrie & Tommy Show while stand-in hosts fill her role.
  • The issue follows a recent forehead injury that required repair and recovery, and Bickmore’s medical outcome will shape whether she can return to radio and avoid lasting voice loss.
