It's an induced coma by the way.

This is just awful. I don't know if I'll be able to go to bed tonight unless I know that he's going to pull through...

I am having the same internal dialogue.

In cases of severe head trauma, a coma is sometimes induced. Any word on whether this is the case?

[LiamCatterson]

Damn...I hope Schumacher pulls through. He has now been put into a coma, they are trying to tend to his head injuries...

Just read that he was in a coma when he arrived at hospital, thus not induced. The source however was CNN, which as you know is far from reliable.

I'm 99% sure this isn't correct. He was in a coma when he arrived at Grenoble, the main hospital, after having been transferred from a smaller hospital where he would have been placed in the coma prior to transfer.

That is actually good news if true. Thanks for that Allan.

Sky said he was concious when he came to the hospital...

Had a very good friend last year go though an unexplained brain hemorrhage. She lucky to have made through, luckier still to not have any lasting effects. She remained in the hospital for over a month and doctors told her she was supremely lucky. Airlifting to a specialist hospital was what saved her life.

Well, don't know if it's good news or not either way. The fact that he's been transferred there at all means that it's serious, as it's because they specialise in serious head trauma and treatment, though either way he's in the best place.

This is something I hear about quite a lot as the specialist head injury unit in Scotland (the Southern General hospital) is only about 3 miles from my house. Going off on a bit of a tangent but one of my best friends is an A&E nurse, and although she's currently on maternity leave, when the helicopter crash happened in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago, she went in to work to help out. She spent a couple of hours in resuscitation dealing with various of the critical patients, and one of whom she was working on had major head injuries. They managed to get him stabalised after two cardiac arrests, though he's still not out of the woods as I type this. Anyway, she got a shock, because when the next of kind arrived at hospital, not knowing how serious or minor his injuries were, it turns out that the man's wife was one of the mothers from the mother and baby group she's been going to for the past 5 months. I can't imagine how awful that was for her to deal with!

Yes, the FIRST hospital....

[LiamCatterson]

What is it with people who have driven for Ferrari suffering nasty experiences in and out of the car with accidents? Massa, Berger, Schumacher, Lauda etc...

Very lucky indeed. When I was in high school, I was at my local golf course practice area with my best friend when his brother pulled up in his car looking shaken, where he told my friend to get in the car. I found out later that their father had a massive brain hemorrhage, and wasn't going to make it. Essentially his brother was taking him to the hospital to say goodbye before they turned off the life support. This ongoing situation with Michael is bringing back all of those horrible feelings...

[Big Azza]

Just speechless.
