PICS: Michael Schumacher's last days?

Dr Hartstein went open to describe Schumacher's current state as a "persistent coma", and mentioned the "sever ramifications" that a lengthy period of time in a coma can cause. "As mentioned previously, the longer one remains in a vegetative state, the less the likelihood of emerging, and the higher the chances of severe ramifications if the patient does in fact emerge," Dr Hartstein wrote.
