6 celebrities who have undergone severe surgery and were on the verge of death
It is considered that celebrities seek help from surgeons only in order to correct their appearance. In fact, stars are also people, and, like all people, they can get sick, get injured, fall, lose consciousness and break limbs. Often such injuries turn out to be deadly…
In this article, we want to tell you about six celebrities who have undergone severe operations, but still managed to survive.
Serena Williams
Tennis star Serena Williams could have died tragically, if not for one incident. Once the athlete was undergoing a recovery course after a serious foot injury and during the procedures, doctors found a pulmonary embolism in the girl. Williams immediately underwent surgery and removed a blood clot from her lung. Fortunately, she is now alive and well.
Emilia Clarke
The star of "Game of Thrones" was on the verge of death several times at once. The first time occurred in 2011: the girl was taking a bath and suddenly lost consciousness. Relatives called an ambulance. At the hospital, it turned out that Emilia had suffered a brain aneurysm.
The second attack happened to her between the filming of "Game of Thrones" in 2013. Emilia said that she was working out in the gym when she felt suddenly unwell. In the hospital, it turned out that the actress had a stroke, and then two hemorrhages. After trepanation of the skull and several months spent in intensive care, the "mother of Dragons" managed to recover.
Selena Gomez
Fans of the singer know that for many years she suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus. In 2015, the disease worsened, and Gomez urgently underwent a course of chemotherapy. A year later, the girl was faced with the side effects of the disease – severe depression and panic attacks. She managed to get rid of them in a specialized Christian rehab located in a remote forest.
It would seem that the girl's troubles should have ended there, but the worst was just waiting for her ahead... In 2017, Selena Gomez needed a kidney transplant. The organ was donated for her by her friend Francia Rice. During the operation, the singer's artery ruptured, which caused doctors to urgently create a new artery using a vein from her leg.
Ozzy Osbourne
The great artist once got into an accident when he was traveling on an all-terrain vehicle. Osborne lost control and fell. As a result of the fall, the musician earned eight rib fractures, damage to the cervical vertebrae and a broken collarbone.
With serious injuries, Ozzy was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors gave him the necessary help. Fortunately for the musician, everything went well.
Gary Busey
But the actor Gary Busey, who also had an accident, had a much harder time… Since the man was riding his motorcycle without a helmet, he severely injured his head when he fell. Busey needed an urgent neurosurgical operation, during which he suffered a clinical death.
As the man himself later told, being "on the other side", he saw angels.
Angelina Jolie
We hasten to reassure you: despite the rumors that regularly appear on the web, Angelina Jolie is alive and well and has not got into any serious alterations. However, the celebrity was still on the operating table several times. In 2015, the star had a double preventive mastectomy to reduce the risk of developing cancer. And later, for the same purpose, she removed her ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Now Angelina can't have children, but she feels much calmer. Recall that the fear of cancer arose in Jolie after the death of her mother from ovarian cancer.
There are many more interesting stories connected with Jolie. For example, we told how the actress brings up, or rather, does not bring up her six children at all. A small spoiler: the daughter of Jolie and Pitt is going to change the gender, and the young son is already drinking. The actress does not mind.
