Dblock Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 TBH I think this goes hand in hand in what the new years resolution thread said. Be careful people and enjoy life because it can be taken from you with no notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 He made F1 exciting for me. Started watching it in 1999. Fingers crossed for him. He made it boring for me.... Was a little shocked at the news, hope he pulls through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 There has just been an update http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/25547624 I hope he pulls through, must be terrible for his family especially at this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This is the same brain injury that killed Allan Simonsen at Le Mans he got out of he car OK then collapsed later. Again this year Philippe Favre had the same ski accident and did not make it, same head injury. Wishing Michael a speedy recovery, if anybody can make it he can.

WhackyWill Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) An update on Schue. in laymans language. First off, this press conference was rather more reassuring than what I expected. I’ll admit that I feared an announcement of a second operation for persistently elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), and the fact that that’s not been needed is good. So what do we know now? We know that besides keeping Michael deeply asleep, they’ve also slightly lowered his body temperature. This is part of the strategy to optimise the brain’s metabolic state. Along with increasing the delivery of “good stuff†to the brain, reducing the temperature reduces the brain’s need for stuff. Therefore the supply:consumption relation is rendered more favorable. We’ve’ been told that Michael has bilateral lesions. This mean the brain is wounded in both hemispheres. That shouldn’t surprise us. This was a hard hit. What kind of “lesionsâ€? While we haven’t been told exactly, we can assume a mix of three types. First, the hematoma itself. This is a collection of blood that can be evacuated. That’s been done, and Michael will be examined and scanned regularly in order to detect the formation of any new hematomas, or re-accumulation of the original one. Next are contusions. These are basically black-and-blue marks in the brain. They result from blunt forces, and consist of areas of swelling and blood that’s seeped out of the vessels into the tissues – just like when you hit your arm. In the brain, as elsewhere, that blood gets absorbed, and the damage heals. Usually fine, but sometimes leaving small cavities behind. The third type of lesions are at the microscopic level. They consist of damage to the bundles of “cables†(axons) connecting groups of brain cells. This type of damage isn’t readily visible using standard imaging, but is often associated with “poor neurological outcomeâ€. These lesions aren’t treated specifically; rather, they are managed by classic neuro intensive care principles – maximise brain happiness and avoid brain unhappiness. Hope this helps!

GMballistic Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 After all the bad F1 crashes he has endured I can't believe this is what's put him in such a terrible way. Just shows how good the safety in F1 has become. Finger's crossed he pull's through this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Didn't something similar happen to Liam Neesons wife after a skiing accident? Hope he pulls through. Very similar, yes. The main difference seems to be that she did not seek immediate medical assistance, in fact the paramedics who attended were sent away. Also, I'm pretty sure that she was not wearing a helmet.

Pete ^^^^This^^^^ As a snowboarder I've noticed over the past couple of years how many more people are wearing helmets. Almost to the point where if you're not wearing one, you're in the minority. There have been a couple of times that my "ambition has exceeded my ability", I've stacked it and been thankful I was wearing a lid. Hope Michael pulls through OK. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
