“I did have a procedure and I had to have a surgery, but it was fine and the surgery went well,” began Rose, 35. “But then yesterday, I had a few complications and I had to go to the emergency room.”
“By the time I thought, ‘OK, I absolutely have to go to the hospital now,’ we called an ambulance and it took hours to find a hospital that would be able to take me or anyone,” she continued, appearing to get choked up.
“They’d been rejecting people all night,” Rose added. “And my case was quite serious — we stuck it out for a little bit longer and we were lucky enough to get accepted by a hospital after a bit of a standoff.”
The “Orange Is the New Black” star — who was clearly emotional — said the hospital staff was “amazing.”
