UPDATE: Michael Schumacher “fighting for his life” say doctors

The medical team caring for Michael Schumacher in France says he is still “fighting for his life” following the skiing accident he suffered on Sunday morning. Contrary to some rumors he has not undergone a second operation, but he remains in a medically induced coma.

The seven-time world champion suffered a severe head injury after hitting his head on a rock, and is currently undergoing treatment at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble.

During a press conference on Monday morning, the doctors looking after Schumacher made it clear just how serious the German’s injuries were, and said it was too early to offer a prognosis.

Professor Jean-Francois Payen said: “I would say that this accident was particularly serious and was dealt with immediately at our hospital. He was immediately operated on after a brain scan and afterward his condition is critical.

This is not good. I thought the initial prognosis was that the injuries were not not life threatening. That seems to have changed.

Thanks for the ping.

Hope he pulls through without lasting impairment. The medical team making such a statement certainly is more serious than the usual yellow press hyperbole.

Retiring from a long career in a hazardous sport only to be cut down by a pasttime accident? That would be sad.

Prayers for a good recovery Michael. You’re one of those athletes that seemed indestructible.
