舒馬赫病情突惡化 醫生擔心恐成植物人
The U.K.'s Daily Mail online has reported a growing concern that Michael Schumacher may never come out of his coma. The retired Formula One legend, 44, who suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident at a French Alps resort on Dec. 29, has been in a medically induced, unconscious state for 18 days.
據英國《每日郵報》報道，自從事故發生之後，邁克爾·舒馬赫一直未曾醒來。這位44歲的退役F1傳奇車王於去年12月29日在法國阿爾卑斯山度假勝地發生滑雪事故，入院接受醫療救治後持續昏迷了18天。The fears for his future are being fueled by German publications that have interviewed brain injury experts whose forecasts are dire.
有德國媒體採訪了腦損傷專家，從專家可怕的預測來看，舒馬赫未來堪憂。According to the experts, a patient who is put in an artificial coma, which helps the brain recover more quickly, is usually brought out of it after one to two weeks. Schumacher, who also had surgery on his skull to relieve cranial pressure caused by brain swelling, reportedly has not recovered enough to make doctors plan to wake him.
專家稱，對病人採取人工昏迷療法有利於大腦儘快恢復，通常1-2周之內就會清醒過來。爲減緩舒馬赫腦腫脹對頭顱的壓力，醫生也對他的頭骨進行了手術，然而據報道，醫生因舒馬赫恢復狀況不佳而不能按計劃喚醒他。
The longer a coma lasts, the greater the damage it indicates, and it is possible that Schumacher could remain in that state for the rest of his life.
昏迷狀態持續的時間越長，它所造成的損傷越大，很可能舒馬赫將以植物人的形式度過餘生。Schumacher remains in critical condition at a hospital in Grenoble, France, where his wife and two children are holding a constant vigil.
舒馬赫病情依然相當嚴重，目前在法國格勒諾布爾的一家醫院接受治療，由妻子和兩位孩子輪流看護。
