I'm not going to transcribe it here but would recommend those interested read it.
One point he does make at the very end is this :
"The future ? A long, long road. Months at least. Short term, the anaesthetic* needs to be lightened when intracranial pressure is normal and stable. That's the next big step."
* He's referring here to the controlling factor of Schumacher's medically induced coma.
