Michael Schumacher Unlikely To Make Full Recovery

Michael Schumacher is unlikely to make a full recovery, according to specialists. It has been almost two months since the Formula One champion’s skiing accident but he is still, according to his agent Sabine Kehm, in “the wake-up phase.” Dr Tipua Aziz, a professor of neurosurgery at Oxford University, explained: “It does not bode well. The fact that he hasn’t woken up implies that the injury has been extremely severe and that a full recovery is improbable.” However Dr Anthony Strong, from King’s College London, said that it is still too early to make an accurate prognosis: “About 90 per cent of the recovery is made within nine to 12 months, so this is still early days.” Neither of these specialists have been working on Schumacher, who hit his head when he fell during a ski holiday back in December.
