From the least sensationalist reporting of Philippe Streiff's words.Jean-Francois Payen, one of the doctors who has been treating Schumacher, said in October that he could need years to recover.
“I have noticed some progress but I would say we will have to give him time,” Payen, who treated Schumacher at the Grenoble hospital where Schumacher was taken after the accident.
“It is like for other patients. We are in a time scale of one to three years, so you need patience.”
