MICHAEL SCHUMACHER’S CONDITION has “improved slightly” according to doctors after a second “surgical intervention” on the former Formula One champion.
The operation was carried out after 10pm local-time last night after consultation between doctors at the Grenoble hospital and Schumacher’s family who remain at his bedside.
The two-hour procedure was carried out after doctors identified an “opportunity” to remove a blood clot in Schumacher’s brain.
The clot that was removed was described as the largest such hematoma but doctors stressed that there are more that are not accessible.
Following the operation a scan was carried out and the encouraging results were described by the chief doctor Professor Jean-Francois Payen at a press conference this morning as “unexpected”.
Payen says that there are “a few signs to believe that the situation is better controlled than it was yesterday”.
Despite this, the doctors cautioned that there are “unable to say that he is out of danger”.
We’re still concerned and we’re still worried, we cant say yet that we’ve won. We must be realistic, the family is aware of the situation, he is still in intensive care.
Schumacher’s condition is still being described as “critical” but Payen said that it was “not the same as yesterday”.
Doctors say that they will not be giving daily updates on Schumacher’s condition and will only be having another press conference if there is an update to give as was the case today.

It probably cost a trillion dollars to develop, could have bought one on amazon for $9.99 made in China
@Martin Sinnott: But it wouldn’t be delivered in time
What’s the postcode for Mars? Can’t deliver without one!
“Human built rovers”??? As opposed to the Martian
@Graham: built ones
They’re Contra rotating blades as opposed to counter!!
Hope everyone reading this knows what a “sliotar” is and it’s size !
@Marie Berrill: Most people do. If not google! :-)
It’s hard to believe the American tax payers still buys into this NASA con artist scam and continue to allow themselves to be robbed to the tune of 31.5 million dollars per day or this unadulterated garbage.
“Engineers built the copter’s twin, counter-rotating blades to “bite into the thin Martian atmosphere at almost 3,000 rpm – about 10 times the rate of a helicopter on Earth,” said a NASA statement”.
Perhaps NASA “engineers” should have when to Dyson. Dyson engineers developed a DC frequency driven motor capable of speeds of 110,000 rpm! If only Dyson did Photoshop and had a film crew in Devon Canada, where the fake mars footage was shot, they could blow NASA out to space, excuse the pun!
The pilot must b tiny?
The singularity is here. The population of Mars is entirely made up of robots (14 of them), whilst us mere humans are unable to make the journey. All hail our robot overlords.
