Maybe he was coming out of his comma but a Spanish doctor blocked the last bend in the anaesthetic tube, thus preventing the event from happening.
Was the Spanish doctor in the grammar police then?Quote:

Sources have claimed that Doctors treating Michael Schumacher and other medical experts have told his family that "only a miracle" can save him.
The seven-time Formula One world champion suffered serious brain injuries after hitting a rock during a skiing accident in the French Alpine ski resort of Meribel in late December.
He is being treated in hospital in Grenoble where he has been in an artificially induced coma for a total of 69 days.
Sources close to his family say the 45-year-old driver's wife Corinna and his brother, Ralf Schumacher, have been consulting brain specialists throughout Europe and have been told that his chances of recovery are minimal.
The family is said to be concerned that the French doctors treating Schumacher have little hope that he will recover and now assume that he will remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.
The reports come after his agent said he was "still in the wake up phase" and his medical situation is unchanged more than two months after his skiing accident.
Schumacher's family has released few details about his condition. French doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain, but some were too deeply embedded.
Neurologists not involved in his treatment say the chances of a full recovery for the 45-year-old are increasingly slim, given the coma's duration and the extent of his injuries.
At the management team's request, the Grenoble hospital treating Schumacher has kept news about his condition to a minimum.
However sources close to his family say that the driver's prognosis is bleak. "The family has been told that only a miracle can bring him back now," a senior German journalist reporting on the Schumacher case said. " He is in a bad way but until the family issues a formal statement, we cannot publish anything," he added.

Coma man wakes after 19 years
An American man has finally woken after spending nearly 20 years in a coma.
The first word Terry Wallis, 39, uttered was "Mom" after catching sight of his mother sitting by his bedside.
His second word was "Pepsi" closely followed by "milk".
Terry Wallis lost consciousness when he was involved in a car crash in Mountain View, Arkansas, in July 1984.
As a result of the crash, he spent 19 years in a coma and his injures left him a quadriplegic.
Terry Wallis' wife, Sandi, said, "It's been hard dealing with it. It's been hard realising the man I married can't be there."
His daughter, Amber, was a newborn at the time of Terry's accident.
She is now a young woman - and the inspiration for Terry's recovery. He says he wants to walk again for her.
Terry spoke his first word two weeks ago and seems to be recovering well.
"Now it's anything he wants to say," said a spokesperson for Stone County Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre.
Experts say cases like Wallis's, where the patient is able to talk fairly freely after a long period of unconsciousness, are extremely rare.
But doctors at the rehabilitation centre in Arkansas, where Terry spent most of his time in the coma, say regular contact at weekends and special occasions with his family may have helped his recovery.
"The doctor said that's why he remembers things," said Sandi Wallis. "We might have kept his mind going."
During the accident in 1984, Wallis and a friend had been driving when their car plunged into a creek.
The driver, Wallis's friend died, but Terry was found comatose a day later under a bridge.
Michael Schumacher’s management have dampened reports the Formula 1 star is breathing independently.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed, without citing official sources, the German, 45, is recovering without ‘respiratory assistance’.
But his management team said he remains in ‘the wake-up phase’ and anything published without official confirmation should be regarded as invalid.
The seven-times world champion has been in an artificial coma at Grenoble Hospital since suffering severe head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps on December 29.
It was confirmed on January 30 that doctors had begun reducing his sedation in a bid to start the ‘waking-up process’.
Gazzetta dello Sport has also claimed Schumacher is regularly visited by Ross Brawn, former technical director of Ferrari, and Jean Todt, FIA president. The latter reportedly speaks to Schumacher in English about their shared past.
But Schumacher’s management said in a statement: “Michael is still in the wake up phase.
“The situation has not changed. Any medical information published which is not confirmed by the team of doctors treating Michael or his management has to be considered as not valid.”

Michael Schumacher has been in a medically induced coma for two and a half months
Injured Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher has been showing "small, encouraging signs" in his fight for recovery, his family says.
"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up," the relatives said in a statement.
Doctors in France have been working to bring the seven-time champion out of a medically induced coma.
The 45-year-old German suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December
BBC News - Schumacher condition shows 'encouraging signs'
Just as an amusing aside, I just remembered something he did in 2007 :
December 12, 2007
Seven-time formula one world champion Michael Schumacher shocked a cab driver by taking over the wheel in order to be on time for a flight.
Schumacher flew into the aerodrome at the Bavarian town of Coburg on Saturday and took a taxi to the village of Gehuelz, 30km away, to pick up a new puppy - an Australian Shepherd dog called "Ed".
But when the 38-year-old, plus his wife and two children, caught a taxi back to the airport they were short on time and, after a polite request, cab driver Tuncer Yilmaz watched in wonder as Schumacher took the wheel.
"I found myself in the passenger seat, which was strange enough, but to have "Schumi" behind the wheel of my cab was incredible," Mr Yilmaz told the Muenchner Abendzeitung.
"He drove at full throttle around the corners and overtook in some unbelievable places."
Mr Yilmaz was well rewarded for the unusual journey - on top of the 60 euro ($100) fare, he was also given a 100 euro ($167) tip.
Schumacher's spokesperson Sabine Kehm later confirmed the story.
The German track ace, who now lives in Switzerland, retired from formula one in 2006 after a glittering career and, despite test drives for his old team Ferrari, has insisted there is no chance of a return to racing.
They kept this quiet; having said that I don't think it's necessarily good news.
UPDATE: German Formula One legend Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma and has left his hospital in Grenoble, his manager said on Monday morning.
"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble (hospital) to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Sabine Kehm said in a statement.
Schumacher had been in a medically induced coma in the CHU hospital in Grenoble, since being seriously injured in the ski accident on December 29th in the resort of Meribel in the French Alps.
The 45-year-old had two operations the days after the accident to remove life-threatening blood clots on his brain.
The seven-time Formula One World champion was then placed in a coma.
I thought it was quite apt., you grumpy old fart:)

i assume the boots are from some soccer player at the world cup, good on him for it.
Or perhaps from Adidas, being a German company and all.
Adi Dassler.

Former F1 champion Michael Schumacher has left a Swiss hospital to continue his recovery at home, his manager says.
Sabine Kehm said in a statement that he had made "progress", but there was "a long and difficult road ahead".
Schumacher suffered a head injury in a skiing accident in France in December last year and was transferred to the Swiss hospital in June.
Schumacher's family said in June that he had come out of a medically induced coma to reduce swelling in his brain.
Schumacher spent six months at a hospital in France after his accident, before being transferred to the hospital in Lausanne. His family home is in Gland, which is on the shores of Lake Geneva, some 40km (25 miles) from Lausanne.
BBC News - Michael Schumacher leaves hospital for recovery at home
I wonder if he'll ever be seen in public again?
If he has made ANY progress thats incredible news
testimony indeed to the overall fitness of the guy prior to this tradgedy
I don't know if you've ever seen anyone conscious after a massive brain injury.
It's like locked in syndrome, harrowing to see.
A friend of ours was in hospital for six months before they put him in a long term care facility. His eyes were open but he couldn't focus, he couldn't control any movement of his limbs, couldn't speak.
I dread to think what was going on inside, he looked tormented the poor fellah, but incapable of any communication.
^I have a friend in a condition like that, after a severe stroke. Poor bloke is literally imprisoned in an unresponsive body. I can't think of much worse, tbh.
Michael's 20 year old son Mick is now testing with Ferrari having signed with the Ferrari Driver's Academy.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/...39868732-1.jpg
A story came full circle on Tuesday morning in Bahrain, when Mick Schumacher stepped into the cockpit of a Ferrari Formula 1 car 12 years and four months after his father Michael vacated one for the last time.
Two days of testing in Bahrain - one for Ferrari followed by one for the affiliated Alfa Romeo team - are the first steps in a plan aimed at establishing whether the son of the most successful grand prix driver in history has the talent to follow his father's footsteps into F1.
