Fabrice Muamba

[TANGODANCER]

Never pointless to say a little prayer or a good word or two to the people around you. Friends or strangers

[thebish]

I'd be a little bit cautious about complimenting a stranger though, sometimes 'nice tits' can get you a kick in the nuts.

nice tits, jimmy!

the things the club doctor is saying today are astonishing and quite frankly i've no idea how the guy is still with us

And what are those things he's saying, Mr B?

[James B]

heart didn't beat for 78 minutes.

had 15 defibrilator shocks. 2 on pitch. 1 in tunnel. 12 in ambulance.

none worked.

It's not pointless if it makes the prayer-sayer feel better, I agree.

Doesn't do any good for Fabrice though.

It really is incredible. I'd like to know what the prognosis tends to be in a situation like this, but it seems borderline miraculous that a couple of days later he's able to have conversations, recognise people and generally just be aware of what's going on.

Still amazed that he might come out of this the same person, he and his family are so so lucky if he does.

I think the prognosis would be incredibly bad indeed from my limited knowledge of the subject.

I used to know a paramedic and I'm sure he told me once that if you don't get the heart beating within a few minutes they've pretty much had it, usually. When I heard they were still trying to ressucitate him down the tunnel and in the ambulance..............

Heart specialist quoted in the Observer (I think) said about 25% chance of survival. Still early days, but the first 24 hours the most dangerous, and, obviously, we are well past that. Come on, Fab, come on!

Do you have a source/proof for that William ? Only, I think he may disagree.

"Two hours after [regaining consciousness] I whispered in his ear, 'What's your name?' and he said, 'Fabrice Muamba'. I said, 'I hear you're a really good footballer' and he said, 'I try'. I had a tear in my eye."

...that bit got me...
