Daimler’s Dieter Zetsche arrived at NAIAS with his left arm in a sling. What happened? Too much arm wrestling with unions or suppliers? Nah, that would be the right arm. Turns out, Dr. Z was injured by a woman. On the ski slopes in Austria, a female snowboarder had crashed into Zetsche. Left shoulder fractured. Dr. Z wore a helmet, which avoided more serious damage.
Germany’s BILD Zeitung reports that doctors at the Austrian hospital prescribed at least 6 weeks of strict convalescence. Says BILD: “Daimler’s boss ignored them. He popped some pain killers, flew to Detroit with shoulder and arm bandaged. Courageously, he presented the new Mercedes products.”

doctors at the Austrian hospital proscribed at least 6 weeks of strict convalescence
Snarky Nitpick Alert: My hunch is the arm would heal a lot faster if they prescribed convalescence.
Standard excuse: English as a second language. Korrektet …
He’ll need a lot more than a helmet if he runs into any laid off Chrysler workers.
Speaking of lame CEO’s, what’s Juergen Schrempp up to these days?
Sleeping like a baby on a 6ft tall bed of money.
Hopefully he will pull through OK.
Abusing painkillers, then boarding a private jet to an auto show in Detroit teeming with subpar products unveiled by former partner Chrysler…by GUM that’s courageous! Had his mustache been in a cast, moreso!
At least he’s not fielding questions from soccer moms.
Wanna know what is funny? I know of 3 Dr Zs. Only 2 are douchebags
Frickin’ snowboarders. How does a snowboarder introduce himself? “Sorry, dude.”
