There were others in years gone by, but we're digressing.

Slight improvement in scans today, but still long way to go.

I haven't heard any updates.  Kept in an induced coma could take months, the Specialists usually do a gradual 'wake' to see how much response there might be.  Certain areas of the brain when injured heal within a 'certain' time scale ...... there is the risk of epilpesy too ........

Richard knows what he's talking about  ;) but as usual, there is no mention of when this Study was Published, I've known these details for over 15 years.

I only posted it as you said you hadn't read anything on it lately...

I would think that as it says "the launch of a study" then it is recent. Which details?

"Dr Richard Greenwood says at launch of study into traumatic head injuries ........

"The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry, tested 220,000 people  .......... "

It doesn't necessarily mean that this is a new study  ::) and the quote doesn't include any dates, calls for papers, abstracts ....

I don't see any up to date news unless I read the BBC web-site, because we don't buy daily papers

Went off to do a google and found that the study 'was published on Wed.' in journal JAMA Psychiatry but it doesn't state which Wednesday  ??? and I sourced this via the Times in India  ???

Also, unless Richard has examined Michael or spoken closely to his Consultants and seen recent scans, he is only able to generalise and give opinions based on his experience ........only time will tell if there is anywhere near a 'good' improvement.  James Cracknell is the other recent brain injury sports person and he is open about his problems now and those he has been told to expect.

 :thankyou:  will look later.  Couldn't find it when I searched just now  ::)

Sad for anyone who has this to contend with, 85% of marriages break up.  The person is different from the one married  :'(.  It is a long road to any recovery at all.  Sometimes it would be better if there hasn't been immediate rescue at the site of the accident <sigh>

Do you  mean it might have been better if he had died? Although it may be very sad for those who knew him as he was before that doesn't mean that he wont go on to live a useful and enjoyable "new" life.

Only the French doctors know. They are specialists in this type of injury & I feel it's wrong to speculate the outcome in this case.
