    Official report from Michael's management team this morning is that Michael is now out of his coma and is out of the hospital and moved to another location "where he will continue his rehabilitation out of the public eye."

    This is being reported on the major news networks.

    I agree that the high courts should punish them but if it was you or I or some other no name, no one would give a damn.

    At a press briefing at the Grenoble hospital on Monday morning, surgeons confirmed that Michael Schumacher remains in a critical condition and is “fighting for his life.”

    They confirmed that he has had only one operation thus far, to relieve pressure in his head, and that a second is not planned as of yet. Schumacher remains in an artificially induced coma.

    The surgeons noted that he had suffered an impact on the right side of his head, and that without a helmet, “he would not be here.”

    “He is still in a coma and he will be kept in a coma,” the surgical team said. “Everything that needed to be done has been done and is being done. At the moment we can’t really say what is going to happen, and when he will recover. We cannot answer this yet.

    “He’s undergoing some treatments which are limiting the damage to his brain. We are trying to release pressure in his head. His situation is critical, it definitely is critical. We are working hour-by-hour, we cannot say anything more, we cannot speculate.

    “He is in a critical situation, and we can say he is fighting for his life.”

    “Despite the helmet we observes some very serious head injuries, so it was quite a big trauma to the head,” they continued. “What we observed initially was an impact on the right hand side of the head. He was agitated when he came in, he had some spontaneous movements, and he wasn’t in a normal state when he came in.”

    The role of the helmet was stressed, saying aside from the severeness of the injuries, the helmet did help.

    “We think that with the violence with which his head hit the ground, the helmet did help. Without the helmet, he wouldn’t be here now.

    “The helmet obviously wasn’t enough to protect him completely, but it really did help.”

    Meanwhile, Paris surgeon Prof Gerard Saillant, a close friend of Schumacher, said, “Honestly I came here not really as a doctor but as a friend, so I can’t really answer any technical questions.

    “I am very worried just like any of his family, his children, his wife, we’re all very worried about his condition. The doctors won’t tell you more because they can’t tell you more. They are working hour-by-hour and it’s only at this level that you can take decisions.”

    If you're not sure about the skills of the translator in that video (I know I wasn't), here's a better, text version.

    Sad, I hope for his recovery. What a awful thing for his son to witness and live with. :(

    Just a word to anyone wondering what happened suddenly to/in this thread. Nathan decided (and rightly so) to move posts about Schumacher from the F1 thread into this one. That's why it may seem a bit odd to some of you, with new posts seemingly appearing out of order.

    Should seem esp. odd to Taffy, who started this thread, since it now looks like I started it. When you combine posts from different threads, our software orders them based on timing of the posts and it always labels the first person to post as the thread starter. Sorry about any confusion, Taffy.


    And now back to this Schumacher business...

    With no one willing to make a prognosis, if you're interested in how these things go there's one guy you might want to follow. Gary Hartstein is a former Formula One Chief Medical Delegate and he speaks a relatively simple American version of doc-speak. You can find his stuff linked in this article.
