Tests to assess Sharon's brain activity |
2006-01-12 |
Doctors are preparing to carry out fresh tests for brain activity on Ariel Sharon on Wednesday after declaring the Israeli premier out of immediate danger from the huge stroke he suffered last week. The 77-year-old Sharon remains in intensive care after suffering massive haemorrhaging, but medics have indicated that his condition is no longer life-threatening. "The prime minister's condition is serious but there is no immediate danger to the prime minister's life," Sharon's chief anaesthetist Yoram Weiss said at Jerusalem's Hadassah hospital on Tuesday afternoon. "In recent days there has been a significant change in the prime minister's condition but we still have a long way to go and we all have to be patient. Since yesterday the prime minister has been breathing spontaneously. He is on a respirator but he is the one who is operating the respirator," he said. |
