SINGER-actress Zsa Zsa Padilla on Saturday belied rumors that she contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Posting a snap of her wearing a hospital gown on Instagram, Padilla said she flew to United States (US) to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan because hospitals in Metro Manila are crowded with COVID-19 patients.
Padilla shared that her back and leg pain problem started last year. She was advised to get an MRI but was not able to do it due to her fear of enclosed spaces.
After her back and leg problems returned and since all the hospitals in Manila are full with COVID-19 patients, she and her boyfriend, architect Conrad Onglao, decided to fly to US to get her checked.
“I didn’t want to risk having my tests back home. My partner, Conrad decided to take me to see his brother, Dr. Art Onglao, in California and he found a specialist for me. I also needed check up with my Obgyn and luckily, my nerve specialist is married to an Obgyn! What were the chances?!” said Padilla, who also shared she finally underwent MRI scan.
“Today, I had my last test – ironically the MRI I most dread. What a finale, Huh? I’m happy though that Art found a machine for me that is so much less threatening than a regular MRI. Tomorrow, I will see my nerve specialist so he can give me his diagnosis.” Padilla added.(ABS-CBN News)
