Doctors fear Michael Schumacher might be in 'permanent vegetative state'

Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been in an artificially induced coma at the University Hospital in Grenoble since he fell and hit his head while skiing in French Alps on Sunday Dec. 29th.

Doctors say patients with such injuries are placed in artificially induced coma to help the brain heal but such measures normally last only a maximum of two weeks. Schumacher has been in his coma for nearly a month and doctors fear he could remain in a 'permanent vegetative state' even if he wakes from his coma. This means that if doctors do bring him out of his artificially induced coma he would be unable to speak, move or feed himself. Too sad!!

The more he stays in the medically induced coma, the more hope dwindle for a full recovery.

Jean-Marc Orgogozo, Professor of Neurology at the University of Bordeaux,said: 'Every day, every week in a coma the chances decline that the situation is improving. A persistent vegetative state is one in which patients with severe brain damage are in a state of partial arousal rather than true awareness. God please help this man. Miracles still happen...

      Are you for real??? A 'vegetative' state doesn't mean he can only eat vegetables, it means he is in a state where he can't do anything for himself and by himself if he comes out of the coma.

      You are just a capital olodo which one is no more meat only leaves. Vegetative state is being not able to do anything for yourself physically like feeding yourself walking your are just conscious of your environment that's all
