He has only a few years left to live. This is the disappointing prognosis of Gary Hartstein, former head of the medical staff of Formula 1. Today he works as a doctor at the hospital of the University of Liege.
As the medic explained, the life expectancy of patients like Schumacher ranges from several months to several years. "The world is now in the stage of a long farewell to Michael," Hartstein said.
In early September, the press was full of headlines that Michael Schumacher was on the mend and had been discharged from the rehabilitation center in Basel. At the time of discharge, he had been in the hospital for 254 days. Currently, 15 doctors are involved in his treatment. The approximate cost of the treatment course is about 100 thousand pounds sterling per week.
Who is right, the former head of the medical staff of Formula 1, or the doctors who are next to Michael, time will tell. But I would like the former to be wrong, and thanks to the optimism of the latter, a miracle would happen...
