Michael Schumacher ‘could make recovery in three years’ – doctor

One of the doctors who has treated Formula One legend, Michael Schumacher, has disclosed that he is no longer in a coma and that he could make a possible recovery within three years. 

Jean-Francois Payen, a doctor at the hospital in Grenoble (France) that treated Schumacher after his injury while skiing in December last year, said he had visited the Schumacher family at home in Switzerland to track his patient’s progress.

He predicted a convalescence of one to three years, adding: “We hope, but we have to give him time…Life after a head injury is punctuated by stages”.
