The Australian actress continued, “I did have a procedure and I had to have surgery, but it was fine and the surgery went well. But then I had a few complications and I had to go to the emergency room to go to the hospital.”
Rose said when she finally determined her symptoms were serious she “called an ambulance and it took hours to find a hospital that would be able to take me or anyone.”
