Littleguy Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, I saw the report on CNN and they are doing a pretty crappy job of covering this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Uh... what? In the article 1st "Schumacher was in a coma when he arrived at the University Hospital Center of Grenoble and required immediate brain surgery, hospital officials said in a written statement." , But slightly below that is "He was conscious but in shock when he arrived in the hospital. To be able to determine the exact causes of the accident, we have to wait for a police report.". Theres also this ""He was alone and he wore a helmet. He hit his head on a rock," Gernignon-Lecomte said." Then this below again, ""We ask for understanding that we cannot give continuous information about his health. He was wearing a helmet and was not alone. For his fall, no other person was involved." Man this article is confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 The cnn article seems to pull blurbs from this UK Reuters article * Schumacher suffers head injury while skiing in France * Seven-times Formula One champion taken to hospital (adds details) LYON, France, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Retired seven-times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher suffered a head injury in a fall while skiing off-piste in the French Alps resort of Meribel on Sunday. The 44-year-old German was wearing a helmet and was conscious while being transported to a local hospital in Moutiers, the resort director, Christophe Gernigon-Lecomte, told Reuters. Schumacher was transferred to a better-equipped medical unit in Grenoble for further examinations and an FIA source said he had been placed under the care of Professor Gerard Saillant, a brain and spine injury expert. Saillant is a close friend of Schumacher's and his former Ferrari team chief Jean Todt, who is now President of the FIA. Le Dauphine Libere newspaper reported on its website that Schumacher's condition had worsened and that his life was now endangered. It did not disclose its sources. Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm was unable to give any further information about his condition but confirmed he was on a private ski trip and had not been alone. Gernigon-Lecomte said Schumacher, who has a vacation home in Meribel, had been skiing off piste. "He fell around 11:00 am and hit a rock with his head," he added. "It seems that he has suffered a head trauma, but I would not say how serious it is. He was conscious but very agitated while being taken to hospital."

mrs.cos Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 The article they are referring to in German papers is highly speculative. It's a fear article- no news, so we'll make news kinda deal. They have no info from his doctors stating they are worried. Hammond was in a coma for like three weeks after his wreck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then he has been in an induced comas in Grenoble University Hospital. His manager Sabine Kehm says in a statement Thursday that ''Michael's sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking up process which may take long time.''

zeitgeist57 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I read that too. Basically he'd never recover while under the medically-induced coma due to diminished levels of oxygen to the brain...quite frankly, I'm glad to hear that they are going to try to revive him despite the risks. I hope this works without giving him a stroke or killing him in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 He's a fighter and a true go-getter. I have faith that inside his body is a strong will that can pull through. I may be crazy, but I can't help but feel his spirit is strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
