GENEVA, Switzerland - Michael Schumacher is receiving neurological treatment and rehabilitation at the Lausanne University Hospital (*CHUV) like any other patient, his doctor Richard Frackowiak said on Tuesday (June 18 2014).
Treating the injured ex-Formula 1 driver is "business as usual," Frackowiak, the chief neuroscientist at the hospital, told Swiss news agency SDA.
The only unusual aspect in treating the high-profile patient was working around security arrangements. Frackowiak declined to talk about Schumacher's condition.
SCHUMI IN RECOVERY
Schumacher hit his head on a rock and sustained severe brain injuries while skiing in France on December 29 2013. He underwent operations and was placed in a medically induced coma from which doctors at Grenoble University Hospital began waking him slowly in late January 2014.
Neuro-science is one of CHUV's priority areas and it is the only Swiss hospital which follows an approach of close co-operation with neurologists, neuro-surgeons, neuro-psychologists and rehabilitation specialists, Frackowiak added.
Schumacher arrived on Monday (June 16 2014) in Lausanne, about a half-hour from his family home in the town of Gland.
Various broadcast teams and photographers are camped in front of the university clinic. A French photographer told DPA: "One photo of Schumi with open eyes, maybe even a smile - I'd wait weeks for that,"
