I hope he gets through this as well, especially at his age. But I have to say from what I've heard, I doubt he will.

Erm, as a consultant surgeon I would classify myself as "medically trained".

Am I wrong for laughing at this? I know it's not the right time but you gotta admit that's somewhat funny.
No you're not wrong - you're just following a fine tradition of tasteless and offensive jokes about the nearly-dead.
But,of course,you do feel sorry for the geezer and his family.

Let's hope they don;t need to use the Hammond Organ Donor Card.

You got me there, although I'd imagine that even consultant surgeons can't make an accurate diagnosis without seeing the patient or, at least, having some details that don't come from conflicting reports on the television.

Of course not. But 17 years of experience has taught me that patients in conditions like Richard's are very, very lucky to pull through. Sorry to be pesimisstic.

In addition to which, he's being treated in a specialist neurological unit, indicating a serious brain injury. That would suggest a period in a coma, and the Richard Hammond who recovers from this injury may very well be a different man to the one we knew before. Brain injury has all sorts of strange consequences.

When you see a picture still of a popular presenter on the news you automatically think the worst. Awful news, hope he recovers soon, I'm sure he will. Didn't Nick Knowles have an accident earlier in the week?
