The entertainment industry was left in shock after rising star Shaira Diaz was rushed to the hospital in the early hours of the morning due to severe abdominal pain that quickly escalated into a life-threatening emergency. Doctors later confirmed she underwent an urgent laparoscopic appendectomy after her appendix swelled to three times its normal size, a condition that could have turned fatal had it been left untreated.
A Night of Fear and Uncertainty
According to family members, Shaira had been experiencing discomfort after a long day of filming but dismissed it as simple fatigue. Hours later, her pain intensified so severely that she could barely stand.
“She was trembling, sweating, and crying in pain,” a close family member revealed. “That’s when we rushed her straight to the hospital.”
By 2:15 a.m., doctors had confirmed her appendix was at risk of bursting, forcing them to rush her into emergency surgery.
Doctors Reveal Just How Critical It Was
Dr. Roberto Cruz, the lead surgeon, confirmed that Shaira’s condition was extremely dangerous.
“If she had arrived even an hour later, it could have been catastrophic,” he explained. “We were able to remove the appendix just in time, preventing rupture and further complications.”
The procedure lasted over an hour, and Shaira is now under close observation as she begins her recovery.
