Schumacher Critical - Brain Injury From Ski Accident

Post by 93henfan »

PARIS -- Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was in critical condition after undergoing brain surgery following a skiing accident in the French Alps on Sunday, doctors said.

The Grenoble University Hospital Center said the retired driver arrived at the clinic in a coma and underwent immediate surgery for a serious head trauma.

It was not clear whether the 44-year-old German was still in a coma but the hospital statement, which was signed by a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist and Marc Penaud, the hospital's deputy director, said "he remains in a critical condition."

The retired driver fell while skiing off-piste in Meribel earlier Sunday and hit his head on a rock, according to a statement from the resort. Resort managers said he had been wearing a helmet and was conscious when rescuers first responded to the scene...

Wow. That sounds eerily similar to what happened to Sonny Bono. Just shift out a tree for a rock....

I bruised my thigh pretty good on a jagged stump on Friday. Your thoughts and prayers are welcome.

Bears don't hunt in packs. These majestic beasts do, though.
