Former Formula One chief physician Gary Harstein speaks of "serious gaps" in Michael Schumacher's medical care, adding that people are experiencing a long farewell to the legendary figure in motorsport.
Gary Harstein, in particular, was the chief physician of Formula 1 from 2005 to 2012, while, according to the Daily Mail, he said that he had heard from "undeniable sources" that these gaps in medical care "could they almost certainly did, to worsen Michael's health. " However, he does not explain what he means by medical malpractice.
In addition, Harstein believes the "misdiagnosis" of the 45-year-old Schumacher's long-term recovery prospects has prompted doctors at Grenoble University Hospital to slowly push his family to take him to a specialist outpatient clinic. "It is possible that the staff at Grenoble Hospital felt compelled not to put any pressure on his family to transport him, despite the terrible diagnosis… because of his very clear contribution to the medical malpractice," Hartstein wrote. Schumacher spends his 87th day in a coma with no signs of recovery.
Hartstein writes: "As time goes on, it becomes less and less likely that Michael will recover to any degree," while believing that people should prepare for the worst-case scenario, stating: "I always knew they loved Michael. "I spent years in the caps, flags and T-shirts of Ferrari and all this for Michael. Even now I am impressed by the depth and persistence of the people's love for him," said the former F1 chief doctor to add: " I'm more and more worried about what will happen when and if bad news is announced. I found that the lack of frequent updates probably gives us the opportunity to move on, to process the data and to slowly start to 'disconnect ".
In fact, he considers this to be a… tactic his family chose to prepare the world for the worst: "I think this is one of the unexpected tactics of the strategy chosen by the Schumacher family. In a way, I have the feeling that people will accept it smoothly, because they had all the time to process the data. "
In addition, Hartstein can not understand why Schumacher remains in the hospital in Grenoble and is not even transported home. "Why is he still in Grenoble hospital? He is probably still in the Intensive Care Unit and I believe that his environment is sure of the quality of care he receives. "It is important to remember that ICU beds are limited."
Finally, it should be recalled that Schumacher's spokeswoman stated last week that Schumacher's awakening phase is continuing and that it will "take some time". However, neurosurgeons around the world believe that Schumacher's condition is, in fact, much worse than the limited press releases issued by his spokeswoman, with the authorization of Korina's wife and other advisers.
