Pope Francis' Doctors Considered Letting Him Die Amid Health Crisis
Originally appeared on E! Online Pope Francis made a miraculous recovery. After the pope returned home following a 38-day hospital stay, Dr. Sergio Alfieri, who cared for the pontiff, admitted they did not think he would 'survive the night' amid a Feb. 28 breathing crisis. 'We needed to choose whether to stop and let him go, or to push it and attempt with all of the possible drugs and the treatments, taking the very high risk of damaging other organs,' Alfierfi told Milan's Corriere della Sera in a March 25 interview, per the Associated Press. 'In the end, that is the path we chose.' Indeed, while the course of action was grueling for the 88-year-old—even adding risk of damage to his kidneys and bone marrow—his personal healthcare assistant, Massimilano Strappetti, whom the doctor said 'perfectly' knew what Francis would have wanted urged them to 'try everything, don't give up.' As Alfieri explained that even through a second breathing crisis three days later, 'We continued, and his body responded to the treatments and the lung infection improved.' More from E!

'In this case the whole world was praying,' he explained. 'I can say that twice the situation was lost, and then it happened like a miracle.' Alfieri also complimented Pope Francis' manner during his lengthy stay in the hospital, adding, 'Of course he was a very cooperative patient.' Pope Francis—who was admitted to Gemelli Hospital Feb. 14 for a severe respiratory infection—was officially discharged from the hospital and returned to Vatican City March 23, which marked the beginning of two additional months of at-home rest and recovery. And while he has yet to make a public statement since his return to the Apostolic Palace, the Catholic Church's leader expressed gratitude for the world's concern amid his now-improving health earlier this month. 'I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health from the Square,' he said in a voice note shared by the Vatican March 6. 'I accompany you from here. May God bless you and the Virgin protect you. Thank you.'

Originally appeared on E! Online is holding nothing back. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum detailed her weekslong hospitalization for multiple brain tumors, revealing what really happened after she underwent emergency surgery in February. "I was wretched in the hospital," she began on the March 13 episode of her and Tamra Judge's Two Ts In A Pod podcast. "It was a bad 17 days for everyone in my life." In addition to experiencing "patchy" spots in her memory, Teddi said she was "put on all these medications" with intense side effects. "I was on a sodium drip," she explained. "They made me take these disgusting sodium pills that I threw up every day." The 43-year-old continued, "One day, I remember I had just thrown up, like, 85 times from the stupid salt pills." But that wasn't all. Teddi said she also spent some time with her hands restrained because she "kept wanting to touch" the scars on the back of her head from the surgery. More from E!

There, she learned that doctors discovered more tumors in her head and lungs despite having already removed four from her brain. 'Once I understood," she recalled, "I got really sad." Teddi is now undergoing immunotherapy and radiation to treat the remaining tumors, which she said makes her feel "absolutely terrible." "I have the worst headache," she tearfully revealed. "I feel back to how I felt at the beginning." Still, Teddi—who is the daughter of John Mellencamp and Victoria Granucci—is keeping her head up. As she put it, a nurse recently explained to her that "the fact that you're in pain right now is huge, because it means it's attacking the cancer." She added of her recovery journey, "I'm feeling really positive." For more celebrities speaking out about their health, keep reading...
