Oprah Winfrey is on Ellen today and she told Ellen DeGeneres that she was very sick. In fact, she was just cleared to do the show the day before she taped today’s appearance.
Lady O was overseas and when she came back, she was not feeling well. She went to her doctor and he told her she had pneumonia. He gave her some antibiotics and sent her home.
A week goes by and she is actually worse. The doctor tells her to go to a lung specialist, so she does. As soon as the doctor heard her lungs, he had an, “oh 💩” face. He took 18 vials of blood, gave her an inhaler, antibiotics and sent her home.
However, he does not want her dying on his watch. Therefore, he called her every day to make sure she was following his orders. She did. When she went back a week later, she was feeling better. Yet, not as much as her doctor, who thanked her three times for getting better and gave her a hug.
No doctor wants to be the doctor responsible for not saving Oprah. Something that will not happen for many many many decades to come.
Thankfully, she is better now. My dad had pneumonia last year and it is no joke. If you think you have it, go to your doctor immediately.
