Star striker Lukas Podolski dedicated FIFA World Cup Win vs Portugal to his friend Michael Schumacher

 

[Rad-oh-yeah?]

Doctors have urged caution following Monday's official news that Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma.

Lewis Hamilton summed up the mood of almost the entire world when he hailed the statement issued by Schumacher's management as "amazing news".

"I've been trying to keep an ear out for what's going on but not really hearing much improvement," said the Mercedes driver. "To hear this is really encouraging."

As well as saying the seven time world champion's almost six-month coma is now over, Monday's statement revealed Schumacher left the hospital in Grenoble for a "long phase of rehabilitation".

It said little else, but warned of legal consequences should the media report further, including the location of Schumacher's next destination.

But publications promptly claimed Schumacher, 45, was moved to Lausanne university hospital, a 30 minute drive from the family's home in Switzerland. The hospital confirmed the news.

The media also began to quote the opinions of medical experts, like Oxford university neurosurgery professor Dr Tipu Aziz, who told AP news agency it is clear the former Ferrari driver will suffer "long-term side effects".

"With rehabilitation, they will try to train him to cope with the disabilities that he's got to achieve as much life function as possible," he said.

"If he's had a brain injury, he may have weakness in his limbs secondary to loss of brain function. He may have problems with speech and swallowing."

Bild newspaper, claiming that Schumacher cannot yet talk, also reported that the rehabilitation "could take months if not years".

"But there are hopeful signs," British rehabilitation consultant Dr Ganesh Bavikatte is quoted by the Telegraph.

"He is physically fit, he is relatively young and I assume he did not have many pre-existing medical conditions."

Others are less optimistic. Germany neurosurgeon Dr Andreas Pingel told the Focus publication that "Only between 10 and 30 per cent" of patients in Schumacher's situation have "disabilities which are tolerable".

And Germany's society for neurology president Dr Andreas Ferbert warned that Schumacher could now be in a "waking coma", resulting in a "permanent vegetative state".

However, Bild newspaper had claimed Schumacher was communicating with his family.

"We do not know exactly what 'communication' means," Finnish neurosurgeon Dr Mika Niemela told the MTV3 broadcaster. "Eyes open does not necessarily mean communication.

"I do not want to be a pessimist," he added, "and I hope he does improve, but if the information that has been given is correct, then yes, the chance of recovery is fairly poor.

"If he has been five and a half months in ICU, the trauma was significant. Yes, he is probably in constant need of assistance."

The medical consultant for French television BFMTV, however, said Monday's news was a "real step", because earlier updates indicated Schumacher remained at least partially in coma.

"Now it is possible to do a complete neurological evaluation and know exactly what has happened," said Alain Ducardonnet.

"Based on this information, an appropriate rehabilitation will start."

Another expert, the chief of neurology at Tampere University, said that Monday's news makes the "Forecast of recovery slightly better" than before.

"But I am unable to comment on what his ability to function in the future will be," Dr Heikki Numminen told Turun Sanomat newspaper.

Professor Heinzpeter Moecke, of Hamburg hospital, agrees that it is not publicly known what level of consciousness Schumacher is currently achieving.

At any rate, he said the F1 legend will "probably have to relearn everything: swallowing, movement, walking, talking. It is a very long and tedious process with many small steps."

Asked if Schumacher can recover, he answered: "No one can say at this time. In principle, nothing is impossible. But that he will go back to before is at least unlikely."

Former F1 driver Olivier Panis told RTL television on Monday that his friend "will not be paralysed, that's for sure. He will not be disabled in a wheelchair.

"But as for the brain, we do not know. We have to be patient," said the Frenchman.

Šumaherova porodica u ponedeljak je objavila da se legendarni Nemac probudio posle 169 dana provedenih u komi od nesreće tokom skijanja u Francuskoj i da je napustio bolnicu u Grenoblu.

Prema informacijama nemačkih i švajcarskih medija, Šumaher je bio budan tokom transporta iz Grenobla u Lozanu, koji je obavljen u potpunoj tajnosti.

Kako prenosi „Bild“, Šumaher je ambulantnim kolima prebačen u Lozanu, a ne helikopterom, kako se spekulisalo. Vozači nisu znali koga voze sve dok nisu stigli u kliniku, a isti slučaj je sa osobljem rehabilitacionog centra, gde će Nemac nastaviti oporavak.

Šumaher je prebačen u Lozanu pod lažnim imenom, da bi se zaštitila njegova privatnost, a svi koji su učestvovali u njegovom transportu morali su da predaju svoje mobilne telefone.

Tokom puta od Grenobla do Lozane, koji je dug oko 200 kilometara, Šumaher je uglavnom bio budan. Prve informacije ukazuju da nije govorio, već je komunicirao klimanjem glave, kao i da je transport protekao bez problema. Iz privatne klinike su takođe naglasili da treba poštovati Šumaherovu privatnost, kao i njegove porodice.

Klinika u kojoj je Šumaher smešten nalazi se oko 30 minuta vožnje od porodične kuće legendarnog Nemca na jezeru Ženeva.

Pacovi napustaju brod:

 

One of Michael Schumacher's personal sponsors is ending its deal with the embattled F1 legend.

 

For years, advertising campaigns for the bottled mineral water brand Rosbacher have regularly featured a bare-chested Schumacher in various sporting poses.

 

Earlier this month, as the seven time world champion remained in intensive care in the wake of his late December skiing fall, parent company Hassia Gruppe's chief Dirk Hinkel said he continued to back Schumacher.

 

"We remain committed to him and his family," he said, "and send him our best wishes."

 

Hinkel said at the same time that the more than eight year collaboration with Schumacher had led to "a much higher awareness" of the Rosbacher brand.

 

But the Swiss Sunday newspaper Sonntagsblick reports that Hinkel has apparently had a change of heart.

 

Just as it emerges that Schumacher has left intensive care in France and transferred to a Swiss rehabilitation hospital, the report claimed the great 45-year-old's Rosbacher contract will not be extended beyond 2014.

 

"After that," a spokeswoman confirmed, "our advertising will be with the product alone."

 

Ko je pravi F1 fan nece vise u zivotu trositi Rozbaher.

Medical notes of Michael Schumacher stolen and documents offered for sale
 
Michael Schumacher’s medical notes have been stolen and documents are being offered for sale on the internet, according to the German’s manager.
This alarming news comes just days after the heartening announcement that Schumacher was no longer in a coma and had been transferred to the University Hospital of Lausanne in Switzerland.
But the theft of the F1 legend’s medical files has caused further distress to his family, who have been trying to safeguard his privacy during the hospital stay since his skiing accident in December.
It is yet to be determined whether the documents offered for sale are genuine, but Schumacher's management are determined to prevent the publication of any stolen material.
 
A statement from Schumacher’s manager Sabine Kehm read: “For several days stolen documents and data are being offered for sale. The offeror claims them to be the medical file of Michael Schumacher.
“We cannot judge if these documents are authentic. However, the documents are clearly stolen. The theft has been reported. The authorities are involved.
“We expressly advise that both the purchase and the publication of such documents and data is forbidden. The contents of any medical files are totally private and confidential and must not made available to the public.
“We will therefore, in every single case, press for criminal charges and damages against any publication of the content or reference to the medical file.
“We trust for your understanding.”
 
Media from throughout the world converged on the Grenoble hospital where Schumacher was treated after suffering serious head injuries while skiing in the Alps.
It was claimed that a journalist even dressed up as a priest in a bid to gain entry to the driver’s room, and Sky Sports News’ Craig Slater has expressed sadness at this latest invasion of his privacy.
“Security was very scant indeed and it was distressing,” said Slater.
 
“The family had to run a gauntlet of paparazzi every day when they arrived at the hospital, despite repeated pleas for the media to take a step back and to respect Michael Schumacher’s privacy as a patient and a human being.
“Now they are being confronted with this, the actual medical notes going missing and potentially being auctioned over the internet. A very sad state of affairs indeed.”

Taj ljigavac nije za zatvor..to je za gulag iz Staljinovih vremena.

 

Ne znam da li je neko čitao "7000 dana u Sibiru", imao sam čast da upoznam Karlo Štajnera koji je pisao tu knjigu. Bivši dekan veterinarskog fakulteta u Zagrebu Forenbaher,  gde je moj matori svojevremeno magistrirao i doktorirao, je kućni prijatelj sa Štajnerom pa nas je upoznao. Izvaredan čovek. Imao sam 15 godina kada sam čitao knjigu i Štajner je za mene bio heroj.

 

E sve muke i stradanja koja sam pročitao u toj knjizi je zaslužio ovaj govnar.

The hospital in Grenoble where Michael Schumacher lay in coma for almost six months reported medical documents about the F1 legend's condition stolen, it has emerged.

 

Earlier, the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's management urged media outlets not to buy or publish the medical file that is on the market for a reported EUR 50,000.

 

The German journalists association, or Deutsche Journalisten-Verband, is also warning against the publication of the information, arguing it is "without substance and relevance".

 

"The contents of this file has neither political nor social significance and would be a completely unacceptable and very serious interference with the personal rights of Michael Schumacher," chief Michael Konken added.

 

Germany's Welt newspaper now reports that the university hospital in Grenoble reported to police the theft and breach of patient confidentiality last Thursday.

 

Days earlier, Schumacher, 45, had been transferred by ambulance from intensive care at Grenoble to a rehabilitation hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland.

 

The French news agency AFP has further details. It claims the 'medical file' is in pact a multiple-page doctor's summary of Schumacher's case copied from the hospital's computer system.

 

The report said the hospital is not sure whether an employee stole the dossier or if it had been the victim of 'hackers'.

 

"An individual, communicating by email, is asking for 60,000 Swiss francs to provide a document of several dozen pages that summarises everything that happened at Grenoble during Schumacher's hospitalisation," local prosecutor Jean-Yves Coquillat said.

 

Hospital director Jacqueline Hubert told Bild newspaper that employees of the hospital with potential access to the file have been interviewed by police.

 

"This is a limited number of people," she said. "Michael Schumacher's information was saved under a false name in the system."

 

Meanwhile, the hospital currently treating Schumacher in Lausanne insists it is taking all measures to protect the former F1 driver's privacy.

 

"We have the highest standards for all of our patients," spokesman Darcy Christen told Welt. "Our data is protected by a very secure system."

Corinna Schumacher has delivered an encouraging message about the progress of her injured husband.

 

Now out of his long coma, F1 legend Michael Schumacher was transferred from intensive care in Grenoble to a Swiss rehabilitation clinic three weeks ago.

 

No official updates have been provided since then, but his wife Corinna buoyed hopes this week when she appeared happy and beaming in a series of photos.

 

According to the Mirror, during her first public appearance in months, Mrs Schumacher "laughed and joked" as she attended a horse riding event in Switzerland.

 

Now, a quote has emerged in the German women's magazine Neue Post that adds to the feeling of optimism about seven time world champion Schumacher's future.

 

"Moving forwards," said Corinna when asked about her husband's progress. "Slowly, of course, but at least we go forward."

The "most difficult time" in Michael Schumacher's "struggle" is now over.

 

That is the positive message delivered by the F1 legend's wife Corinna, in a brief letter of thanks in the official 2014 German grand prix programme.

 

The message, in German, said the Schumacher family had been overwhelmed by the support shown by the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's supporters since his skiing accident.

 

"It's good to know that we have all come through the most difficult time together," Mrs Schumacher, whose 45-year-old husband is now in a Swiss rehabilitation clinic in the wake of a six-month coma, reportedly wrote.

 

"Now a period that is expected to take a long time has begun. We trust that in this struggle you will be Michael's allies once again, as you were for so many years in formula one," she added.

'Schumi could return home soon'

Tuesday 22nd July 2014

 

 

 

 

Michael Schumacher continues to make good progress following his move to a Swiss rehabilitation centre and could return home soon, according to reports.

The Formula One legend, who spent more than six months in a Grenoble following his skiing accident on December 29, was transferred to the Lausanne clinic in June.

However, reports claim he could be moved to his Swiss home before the end of the month as his recovery is going well and he is able to communicate with his family by moving his eyelids.

"There are signs that Michael will leave the clinic soon and be cared for at home," Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick revealed.

Meanwhile, the Mirror reports "it is understood that while Schumacher remains paralysed, he is able to answer questions from his wife and children Gina-Maria, 17, and son Mick, 15, by fluttering his eyes".

It adds that "doctors at the clinic in Switzerland hope to have Michael sitting upright in an advanced electronic wheelchair that he can control via his mouth within a few weeks".
