Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been under 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 positioned in artificially induced coma to simply help the mind heal but such measures normally last not more than two weeks. Schumacher has been around his coma for almost monthly and doctors fear he could stay static in a'permanent vegetative state'even when he wakes from his coma. Which means if doctors do bring him out of his artificially induced coma he'd struggle to speak, move or feed himself. Too sad!!
The more he stays in the medically induced coma, the more hope dwindle for a complete recovery.
Jean-Marc Orgogozo, Professor of Neurology at the University of Bordeaux,said:'Each day, each week in a coma the chances decline that the specific situation is improving. A persistent vegetative state is one where patients with severe brain damage come in circumstances of partial arousal as opposed to true awareness.
