Scary news out of Hollywood today as reports say that porn legend, and national treasure, Ron Jeremy was rushed into emergency surgery to remove an aneurysm that was near his heart. The man they call “The Hedgehog” underwent successful surgery this past Wednesday and is said to be resting comfortably in the Intensive Care Unit.
Apparently the 59-year-old drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering from severe chest pain. I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere about his enormous penis being able to drive the car while clutching his chest in pain, but damn it, this is a man’s life we’re talking about here.
From Reuters…
Jeremy, 59, who appeared in more than 2,000 adult films, drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles early on Wednesday after suffering from chest pains.
“He just felt chest pains, like a very heavy weight,” Jeremy’s manager Mike Esterman said. “He is being worked on for an aneurysm near his heart.”
Esterman said that the surgery “went smoothly,” adding that Jeremy “is now resting with complete privacy and no visitors.”
Nothing but good thoughts and karma go out to Ron Jeremy as he recovers from this near fatal condition. One can only wonder though, had this aneurysm been in the area of Jeremy’s legendary dong, if he would have walked away from this medical emergency relatively unscathed. Considering how much action that thing has seen over the years, I’m pretty sure it’s impervious to crabs, zipper teeth, and aneurysms.
