What is Pivens prognosis?
“He’s on the right track. He’s not doing very well yet, but he will be,” Colker predicts. Colker says Piven’s long-term prognosis is “very good” because his mercury levels “continue to normalize.” Colker expects that, if Piven follows doctor’s orders, “he should be back in action by the end of February [or] the beginning of March.” “I think he’s going to be just fine, he’ll be 100%,” says Colker.
