| DRIVERS STANDING |
07-03-2004 Indianapolis' Methodist Hospital is more than accustomed to picking up the pieces of scary 200 mile-per-hour crashes on the local 'Motor Speedway.' So how did it miss Ralf Schumacher's fractured spine ... ? ''It's a scandal,'' his brother, Michael, said in reference to speculation the recovering German was considering legal action against one Methodist doctor. ''There will certainly be repercussions.'' But this scandal looks more like a lack of medical understanding. F1's veteran doctor Prof. Sid Watkins said US-doctors probably did their job with precision. He told a reporter at the Magny-Cours circuit on a rainy Friday that some fractures of the vertebrae, like Ralf's, ''remain masked for about seven days.'' * Retiring FIA president Max Mosley said the medical-car reaction time was some 100 seconds because of ''limited resources. But they did get there in time.'' |
