Michael Schumacher in critical condition

Yeah, it's been over a month. There was a doctor on the radio this morning saying that normally they would hope to bring someone out of the coma within 2 weeks.

It's all speculation until he wakes up. The brain is about as well understood as the oceans. 10% at best. Best thing is to say a prayer for him.

To be fair I doubt anyone could have access to better care than Schumacher who has a lot of cash and medical friends with specialist head injury skills, the words of some medical pundit wheeled in by a radio station probably have limited value.
I was never a fan of his racing, but I do hope that he recovers and no-one outside his family and medics will actually know the prognosis.

There is probably nobody better equipped to recover. Not only does he have the financial resources and fame to get the absolute best treatment but he was in great shape. And like any top-level professional sportsman, he has an absolute iron will to fight, which is very important.

If he retains enough marbles to know what's going on, my guess would be he'd recover very well over time. But that's potentially a big if.

Heard last night they're going to slowly reduce his sedation with a view to bringing him out of the coma. Could take a while though, the news said.

He's German, of course he responds to instructions!

I hope he's alright. Some people say the Schmacher era was boring but not me. He is undoubtedly one of the all time greats, it would be a crying shame to see him reduced to a vegetable.

I hope he's alright after all the Schumacher jokes I posted on here. Not funny now Micky, you need to sort this out.

if he recovers he will probably become an IT contractor
