Stephen Graham's Aerial Emergency Surgery
Scary Skies for the Actor
Emergency surgery performed on Stephen Graham mid-flight.
Strapped in his seat at 10,000 meters, little did British actor Stephen Graham know he was about to star in a thrilling, real-life drama. Known for his role in Netflix's "Adolescence," Graham faced an unexpected crisis during a transatlantic flight.
Trouble in the High-Flying Cloakroom
Graham, like many men of a certain age, had undergone a simple medical procedure to manage urination issues. But during this flight, things took a horrifying turn—the actor found himself urinating pure blood in the airplane toilet. Panicking, he realized the sheer amount of blood was cause for extreme concern.
A Life-Saver in the Skies
In his desperation, Graham remembered a selfie he had taken with a fan before the flight—a doctor. A fortunate coincidence indeed, as this doctor had a friend who was a surgeon. Seizing the opportunity, Graham explained his predicament, and they agreed to handle it.
Operating Room in Economyclass
With urgency and precision, the makeshift medical team created a sterile area and performed an emergency procedure using an emergency kit's catheter. Graham lay down on the couch, pants around knees, as the surgeon worked his magic in the airplane's cabin. After the operation, the grateful actor posed for a commemorative selfie with the doctors and the crew.
Did You Know? The sudden gush of blood during urination, known as hematuria, can be caused by various factors such as infections, kidney stones, tumors, or blood clots. In Graham's case, it was due to a clot that had become stuck behind his urethra. Prompt treatment is crucial to address the underlying cause.
