Schumacher injured in Skiing accident (out of coma)

[Koz]

What do "brain lesions" mean?

Hope he gets well soon.

Professor Yohan Payan added: "I'd say this accident happened in the right place because he was taken into hospital immediately and operated on as soon as he arrived, this mean his state is critical and he is still in a coma and he will be kept in a coma.

"Everything that needed to be done has been done at the moment we can't really say when he will recover, we cannot answer this yet."

I've provided a summary of the press conference, here : Daily #F1 News and Comment: Monday 30 December 2013

Be careful, sounds pretty devastating

Wow that all sounds pretty bad; as an understatement

I think the prospect of a "full recovery" is a long way off if at all

Since I heard of the accident noon yesterday I have followed the news carefully, it´s terrible, terrible.

Fight now Michael!

I agree, BUT "miracles" do happen, i.e.. speedway riders Ales Dryml and Ricky Ashworth.
Riders that suffered critical head injuries but that have survived. Ales even have made a full recovery.

Obviously I don't know if their injuries are comparable with Schumi's injuries.

Several reports now stating that he is in an induced coma, but is in life threatening condition.

It is also reported by some that both Jean Todt and Ross Brawn are at the hospital with the family.


I hope things change for the better.

I hope Schumi will recover
