Doctor Says It Might Take Michael Schumacher Three Years To Recover

A French doctor who treated Michael Schumacher after a skiing accident that nearly killed him has said the Formula One star may recover within three years.

In his first public comments since the accident, Dr Jean-Francois Payen confirmed that Schumacher is out of a coma and has made "some progress", but said the driver faces a long road to recovery.

"I have seen some progress but I would say give him time. It's like other patients, we are in a timescale that ranges from one year to three years, so it takes patience," Dr Payen said.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but if anyone knows anything about massive head trauma, you know he'll never be the same again.

In cases like this, they probably pumped him with 10,000mgs+ per day of fish oil to keep his brain from dying. What your left with is a person who physically looks the same, but has delayed speech and motor skills, and has to be aided for the rest of their lives.
