Sharon doctors turn to Mozart

2006-01-10 11:51

Jerusalem - Doctors trying to rouse Ariel Sharon from a coma have turned to Mozart in a bid to accelerate the Israeli Prime Minister's recovery.

Tapes are being played round the clock in Sharon's room at the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem on the advice of doctors who had read about the premier's love of the Austrian composer, a report in the Yediot Aharanot daily said.

So far however there has been no sign that Sharon, who suffered a brain haemorrhage last Wednesday, has heard the music.

Doctors at Hadassah have so far detected some slight movement in the prime minister's right limbs as they attempt to bring him out from the medically induced coma.
