Arnold Schwarzenegger recalled a frightening medical experience in a video shared to YouTube recently. The Terminator star explained that his doctors made a mistake while performing a non-invasive valve replacement surgery.
“I woke up and all of a sudden the doctors were in front of me saying, ‘I’m so sorry but it was unlike what we planned,'” he said. “They said we made a mistake and poked through the heart wall and had to open me up very quickly and to save my life. I was really freaking out.”
The FUBAR actor included video of himself walking the halls of the hospital with a walker to recover following the surgery. “The bottom line is, you cannot roll the clock back,” Schwarzenegger said. “It was a disaster. I was in the middle of a disaster. So now how do I get out of it? You have to shift gears. You collect yourself, shift gears and say, ‘OK, what I need to do now is I got to get out of this hospital.'”
