Cuban actor Lieter Ledesma He has shared a video on his Facebook profile to thank all the signs of support and affection he has received by different media after having been emergency surgery in Miami (Florida) for peritonitis.
“In this video I want to thank all the people who have been connecting and have been writing to me worried about my state of health. To all the people who have left me a comment of encouragement and concern on Facebook, on Instagram, on my personal number. To all the friends who have shown me affection, to all the people who have found an excuse to communicate with me again and leave me affection “, he began.
The artist also had words of thanks to “the entire medical team” who treated him at Baptist Hospital in Coral Gables. As he told in the audiovisual, he came to the health center with peritonitis and they had to undergo emergency surgery for “minimal access”, since it had already begun to affect “the entire abdominal area and liver.”
Fortunately it was for minimal access. The entire abdominal area and liver were quite compromised
“I presented an atypical case because I had no pain until the last moment and they had to also remove a piece of intestine,” he said.
Ledesma He also wanted to take the opportunity to “disprove the myth that exists with the health system of the United States” and thank him for the excellent treatment he received, even after a nurse told him minutes before entering the operating room that his health insurance was expired. The actor said he saw a “human side that is usually not the one shown by the American health system.”
I also want to debunk the myth that exists with the health system here in the United States, to take this opportunity to say thank you.
“When I arrived I gave my documentation and my medical insurance, a whole process started and when I was about to enter the operating room, a nurse came and told me that my insurance was expired. I said to him: ‘Well, what do we do now? ? ‘ She said to me: ‘what do we do ?, operate on you and then we see,’ “he said.
Likewise, Ledesma He added that “people who have a public life” are always used “to take advantage” of situations, but in the hospital nobody knew him and, nevertheless, they “treated him like someone else who arrives” with all the love in the world . According to him, this “anonymity” made him experience “the vocation, love and dedication” of the American health personnel.
In this anonymity I was able to verify in first person the vocation, the affection and the dedication of a health personnel who also give themselves body and soul to the people who arrive, regardless of who they are.
About the surgery, Ledesma He said that he was “operated on by a brilliant surgeon, born in Boston but the son of Venezuelans” and that the medical team “also included a Cuban doctor who worked with Álvarez Cambra in Cuba.” Likewise, he was attended by a “Haitian nurse, a nurse from the Philippines” and a “Dominican nurse” who pleased him with her charisma and self-confidence.
The actor wanted to reassure his followers and said that he was in good health and that he was already at home recovering. Once again he took a minute to thank all the signs of support and affection and added that “you really don’t feel that it is important until people show it to you.”
Finally, Ledesma pulled up his shirt and showed the marks on his abdomen from the operation, which he classified as “war wounds.”
