Ariel Sharon could be moved to a coma-care hospital. Two doctors from Loewenstein Hospital Rehabilitation Center, which specializes in long-term care for comatose patients, visited the Israeli prime minister’s bedside Wednesday. Political sources said that Sharon, 77, who has been unconscious since a Jan. 4 stroke, could eventually be moved to Lowenstein if doctors at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem do not succeed in reviving him.
