Sad...michael schumacher
 

Wow...

Fecking crazy. I'm really upset about this.

Very unfortunate.

Dammit that's bad...

Suspected that would be case. Traumatic brain injuries are never good.

Is it me or does the feel like the article is trying to misled the reader. There has been no news on his status. No $hit he wont be the same if he wakes up, but is it vegetable bad or just losing a memory or two.

It seems more like between a vegetable and he will for sure lose all his memories.

If damage was bad enough for extended two week artificially induced coma it probably won't just be memory loss. And being older means brain won't have ability to recover as easily either. If he ever regains consciousness his chances of being same person are bleak. I wish him and his family the best but blunt force trauma hard enough to crack a helmet is likely going to be more than simple memory loss I suspect. Time will tell. Should know in next couple weeks. If he doesn't come out of coma that's a problem too. I spend too much time around my friend who is a neurologist. Depending on where hit was he may lose motor skills or ability to speak or have major personality change. There no way to know until he is conscious and they can run series of neurological tests to determine extent of damage. The brain is still a very mysterious organ that medical science has not completely figured out.

sad news... :(

Sad news indeed. I really wish Michael the best.

One of my favorite Schumi stories:

Michael Schumacher drives taxi in airport dash - Telegraph

Michael Schumacher's condition is no longer critical, his management announced in a statement.

For the first time since his skiing fall almost three weeks ago, the 45-year-old German's condition was described on Friday simply as "stable", although he remains in coma.

"Michael's family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael, and they trust them completely," said the seven time world champion's manager, Sabine Kehm.

Kehm dismissed reports of recent days suggesting the great former Ferrari and Mercedes driver might never emerge from his coma, or that if he does, he will not not recover to full health.

"Unfortunately I have to repeat that any information regarding Michael's health not coming from the doctors treating him or from his management must be treated as pure speculation," she said.

I wish him the best. Talented and seemingly like a car guy the average Joe could grab a beer and talk shop. Get better MS!!
