Cerebral haemorrhage ususally means induced coma.

Fingers crossed for Michael. But let's not panic. An induced coma is a standard procedure for certain types of head trauma. Wendlinger and Massa went through the same after Monaco 1994 and Hungary 2009.
The only thing I'd prefer reading (other than that he is fine) is "serious but stable condition".

Yup, +1.
I wonder if he was actually wearing a helmet, the guy from the resort they interviewed on Sky didn't sound too sure, saying "we are sure he was wearing a helmet" as if one of us would say we'll I'd assume he was wearing one.
Either way, that's one mother of a hit to cause all this, the first thing the Mrs said was how ironic the whole situation is.

The meical bullettin of 10pm says "critical condition"; the brain hemorragy caused the coma. Gerard salliant, the neurosurgeon that treated him after 1999 accident arrived from paris and he schumacher received surgery to stop the hemorragy

Agreed. This is something that I've been thinking about all day.Ian-S wrote:the first thing the Mrs said was how ironic the whole situation is.

From another forum
And cheeveer has already posted details of Hartstein's Twitter account, it is worth a read.phil1993 wrote:Sky News had a neurosurgeon, I'm paraphrasing: Coma means there is a range of things that could have happened: brain swelling, brain haemorrage, a blood clot within the brain or on the surface would need to be removed. There might need to have been an intercranial pressure monitor or sometimes a large piece of the skull is removed to allow the brain to swell to minimise the pressure on vital structures. Suspects that he had a lucid interval which suggests it is not as serious as it could have been - those who are immediately unconscious fare far worse - but this is still serious. Any potential swelling needs to be treated. Helmet can often minimise the severity of the injury which is sustained. For more, Hartstein's Twitter account is very informative

It s pretty clear that schumacher had a serious cranial trauma with internal hemorragy. He was conscious after the fall but worsened and arrived in grenoble in coma. Makes me remind of mark donhue. Fortunatelly he was inmediately treated and saillant is a positive thing. Unfortunatelly the brain is a very delicate organ a and a brain emorragy can makes things be irreversible. It will be the lo gest night for schumi. I pray for him and he ll get well. Go schumi

I can't add much more to this, only that the reported story has been confusing. At first he was seriously injured, then he was airlifted to hospital conscious as a precaution, now he's in a coma having arrived that way from the hospital.
If he arrived in a coma, that's very bad. If he's been put into an induced coma, as Gary Hartstein's twitter says, it's similar to being put under anaesthetic for an operation. Induced comas put the brain into Safe Mode and reduces the possibility of further injury. All of these respirators and medical equipment he's attached to are completely standard when under anaesthetic. I had the same when I had a very minor operation a few weeks ago.
The fact he's had an operation means it's either to repair a haemorrhage or to reduce the pressure from swelling. Either of those are bad.

It's only bad if he dies. I assume they've scheduled a press briefing tomorrow morning to confirm either he's made it through the night, or not, he's not going to come strutting out for a meet and greet. I'm more perplexed at some people's reactions to it, maybe it's just the way the press are playing it up.
This sounds a lot like what happened to Natasha Richardson with the exception that someone knew exactly what to do given the circumstances.

What are people's reactions? Not how I imagine internet trolls might react, I hope.

I doubt they would schedule a press conference if they weren't confident of him making it through the night. Otherwise they'd probably be told by Michael's family and management team to hold off.
As for the coma, yes he arrived at Grenoble in a coma but that would have been induced (either by injury or most likely medicinally) prior to being airlifted out of the original medical facility.
As for reactions, other than a couple of standard DailyMail readers, the reactions I've seen have been of shock and hope for Michael.
