In a shocking development, People magazine has reported that tennis star Serena Williams underwent an emergency treatment for a blood clot in her lungs. The surgery was performed at a hospital in Los Angeles.
According to the report, Williams’ spokeswoman Nicole Chabot, Williams “underwent emergency treatment for a hematoma suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation.”
Chabot said the tennis star suffered from a pulmonary embolism last week.
“Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications,” Chabot told People.

Not my baby! My prayers are with her.
On a side note, should need a massage therapist, I’m her man. I’ll take a quick course and report for duty immediately.
This is extremely concerning. I am a surgeon, and surgery for a pulmonary embolism is halfway between the typical nonoperative treatment (almost always the choice), and death (requires no treatment and is the first symptom in these tragic cases). If they say she is intubated ( on ventilator) then this is truly grave. I hope I’m misinterpreting the statement.
