anaesthetic#2
F1レーサーのミハエルシューマッハがこん睡状態から目覚めたというニュースです。記事によると，今後は家族や少数の専門家とリハビリテーションに励むそうです。しかし，どのようなコンディションであるのかは明言されませんでした。記事の中で気になった単語は"anaesthetic"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版（三省堂）』によると「麻酔薬，緩和剤」などという意味がありました。F1ファンの多くが，このニュースをうれしく思っていると思います。（Ume）
F1 legend Michael Schumacher 'out of coma'
"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, said in a statement on behalf of his family on Monday.
"For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," she said,
without giving further details.
Relatives have previously warned that "it was clear from the start that this will be a long and hard fight for Michael".
The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva reports that the university hospital in Lausanne is one of Switzerland's most renowned.
He will have a team of specialists, and his own private accommodation, and he will be much closer to his family home on the shores of Lake Geneva, our correspondent says.
But it is not clear what Schumacher's condition is and his process of recovery is still expected to be a long one, she adds.
Monday's statement was the first substantial update since early April when Ms Kehm said the German racing driver was showing "moments of consciousness and awakening."

Medically induced coma
Can be induced by powerful anaesthetics and is broadly similar to the sedation and artificial ventilation used during surgery
Used to shut down many brain functions, lowering blood flow and pressure
Taking a patient out of an induced coma is a delicate process, especially after a prolonged period of sedation
