Sharon 'could regain consciousness'

Ariel Sharon could still regain consciousness, even though he has been comatose since suffering a massive stroke on January 4, the director of the Jerusalem hospital treating the Israeli prime minister said today.

“The condition of the prime minister is really serious, he is stable … Yes, there is a chance the prime minister will wake up. It’s not something that can be ruled out. The chances aren’t great, but it’s not a situation that can be ruled out,” said Shlomo Mor-Yosef, director of Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
