From the Times:
Both operations involved drilling through Schumacher’s skull. In the first, undertaken immediately after Schumacher arrived at the hospital by helicopter, barely 90 minutes after the accident, the surgery involved the right side of his head; in the second, 24 hours later, the left side. The doctors said that while both operations had been successful in relieving pressure, they had left multiple hematomas, or blood clots, deeper inside his brain that were not accessible to further surgery.
Among the many neurosurgeons who have come forward to discuss the Schumacher case since his accident — experts who are not involved in his care — the common view has been that the injuries described by the Grenoble team leave open a wide range of possibilities. They have described these as running from a full recovery to various forms of long-term impairment, and, at the worst, to a situation in which Schumacher might lose his life without ever regaining consciousness.
