Retired Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher, 44, is fighting for his life after he fell and hit his head on a rock while skiing off piste
with his 14-year-old son Mick in t
he resort of Meribel in the French Alps yesterday morning Sunday December 29th.
Doctors who treated the seven-time Formula One world
champion said he would ‘have died’ had he not been wearing a crash
helmet. But despite the helmet, Michael Schumacher suffered serious head injuries that has left him in a coma since the accident. The German driver required immediate brain surgery as he got to the hospital and is currently being kept in an induced coma, officials said.
Speaking at a press conference at the
Grenoble Hospital where he's being treated, Doctors said they can't predict the future for Michael
Schumacher.
"Michael Schumacher was the victim of very
serious trauma. He was very agitated when he arrived and we decided he
was in a critical situation and he quickly went into a coma. The
neurosurgical treatment he received brought us quite a lot of
information. We had to operate urgently to release some pressure in his
head. Unfortunately, he has some lesions within his brain. We judge him to be
in a very serious situation. We cannot predict the future for Michael
Schumacher." Continue...

Chief
anaesthesiologist professor Jean-Francois Payen added:
‘We can say he
is fighting for his life. We think his helmet did help, without a helmet
he wouldn't be here now. We judge him to be in a very serious
situation. We cannot tell what the outcome will be yet. We are working
hour-by-hour but it's too early to say what is going to happen and to
have a prognosis.’

Doctors during the press conference |
"On his arrival we examined him
clinically and we realised he was in a serious condition, in a coma,
with in fact cranial pressure. The
brain scan showed a number of pieces of information, some intercranial
haematoma (internal bleeding) but also some cerebral contusions
(bruising of the brain tissue) and oedema (build-up of fluid). We
operated urgently to try to eliminate the haematoma. After the
operation we saw that we had been able to eliminate these haematoma but
also sadly the appearance of various bilateral lesions. So therefore he was taken to intensive care to try to help.'
"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 meant 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.
Schumacher's
wife and two children are reportedly at his bedside. God please make him alright.

To me, some spots are simply dangerous! When some pals say they are going skiing,i tell them 'break a leg' meaning have fun but strangely they come back with one accident or the other that requires orthopedic surgery! Now how is that supposed to motivate to try out this life threatening spot!
I pray the F1 legend pulls through this ordeal but one thing i know,he is an adrenaline junkie and will never stop
He will be alright by his grace Amen.
Rich people problems
please god save him and don't look on to his sin .show him mercy

May the almighty God keep him alive and refund him with Good health of mind and body Amen!!! *** I AM THAFINEXX*** kick it
I pray he recovers.but I trust him to continue if he makes it.
All our prayer is towards Michael at this critical stage! May God touch him with Him with his healing hands. Amen

I would like to say 'pls get well'and stop there.But I want to add...white people tend to find accidents even when its not looking for them.I have never seen a black person jump into the ocean that he is scuba diving and end up getting swallowed by a shark or jump from the cliff and say he wants to hangglide or sum weird sports thatput them in danger.In naija here,we worry about falling containers and collapsing buildings.Now he is causing everyone grief with this accident.is racing car not enough adrenaline?Get. Well soon

People like you are very annoying. Everything that's reported that contradict government slightly is deemed as politics. You didn't even know by virtue if owning a blog, the owner of this blog is automatically a reporter, and she must do the job very well without fear or favor. Be warned too fool!
Libers nde obi oma..
Good luck. Praying for you.
May God help him 2 recover
May God help him,
Dumb ignorant comment.
He is in my thoughts and prayers. I wish him a speedy recovery
Nigerians and posh claiming shiii...some "jenifass" will be like schummi I'm wishing yu quick recovery...bet if not for the internet yall never heard of the dude or seen him race...and must yall comment on erry shii...quit being fake yall...
@Ajanaku Oluwakemi So you must know someone personally before you say a prayer for them in a tragedy,see your life,you must comment
Hey what brings about sin in this issue. The man had an accident you are talking about God forgiving sins. Wake up, don't just read meanings to things any how. Leave religion out of the issue at hand.
Based on how Nigerians talk about God and religions we shouldn't have the problems that we have in Nigeria now...
Wish Schumacher a speedy recovery and learn lessons about dangerous sports, or read the news and move on..
Haha, where you dey? Dem just release unable for jail with Al must aphasia or what????
Your second home country. You're a joker. Dem tell you say you are wanted for their country? My brother or sister, these Germans no send you oo. The fact that you get Dutch Palin means nothing. ... Gba...
Be grateful jooo. We tin gan. Linda no be CNN now. Abi wet in gan... just read be appreciative or be quite
He was not trying to be champion at skiing ooo. Haha, where you hear that one. Naa his hobby. Rich white man hobby...
Big lie! He has retired... Find out properly before you comment!
Fabulous Lovely Smith
Get well soon! Mehn, this guy Michael Schumacher is so scandal free in Germany and he's well known for his charity work.... unlike his younger brother Ralph Schumacher....
What kind of talk is this? Go and sleep if you have nothing to say.... He has been skiing with his family every year and it's one of his hobby... It has got nothing to do with being or becoming a champion! Do your research properly please before commenting...
Huh? I'm seriously wondering what his "oyinboness" has got to do with anything. *confused face*
Ajanaku, you are way too stupid. Always looking for cheap publicity with your senseless comments. Idiotic fool. Get a brain.
Senseless person hiding under anonymous. You be SSS? Fool oshi. Reveal yourself.
wish him quick recover

Wishing him quick recovery,Amen.
I really don't get these white folks all the races and crashes he got involved during his formula 1 era dint put him in coma common skiing is threatening his life. White people are sick if it is not plane diving its mountain diving or one form of extreme sports a black celebrity would not try this hell a black man values his life jay z diddy kanye wont try this shit for were they rather hang out in the strip club and chill for strippers to bounce heir booty for them
After years in the asphalt speeds,tracks and the formula 1...Na just skiing want kill am now...get well soon..
kereen....thanks
He will hopefully pull through. He's getting the best medical care now. His helmet saved him if not it would have been instant death.
Champion, fighter, legend.
