Schumacher’s weekly medical bills will shock you
The amount that Michael Schumacher’s wife is spending on his medical care after he was severely injured in a ski accident last year, is shocking. The Daily Mail reported the F1 legend’s wife is spending the equivalent of R1.7-million per week on his care at their Swiss estate, including an 24/7 medical team and state-of-the-art equipment.
However, this might be all for nothing as medical experts have doubts that Michael Schumacher will ever recover from his brain injuries. They believe Schumacher remains in a “minimally conscious” state and is not yet even sitting up unaided let alone walking or talking.
Hartstein, Shumacher’s doctor said, “As time goes on it becomes less and less likely that Michael will emerge to any significant extent.”
He also stated, ”Life expectancy for a comatose patient who does not improve neurologically is measured in months to relatively few years.”
