Kramer was shooting „Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis” by Ellory Elkayem in Romania, back in 2005.
She told Maxim magazine she was feeling ill and Romanian medics determined she needed to have her appendix removed, a surgery that put her life in danger.
„I immediately started feeling sick. But I didn’t want to complain and be considered a problem. Eventually I had to go to the hospital. The doctor could barely speak English but said I had to get my appendix out,” Kramer said.
She added that, as she wasn’t getting better after the operation, she flew back to the U.S. to get a second opinion and was stunned when she was told the Romanian doctors had taken out the wrong body part and she needed a different organ removed.
„They (doctors in Romania) did the surgery, and six days of recovery time grew into two weeks when I caught pneumonia,’ she said, adding „I flew back to America, and the doctors here explained it was never my appendix; it was my gallbladder, and if they didn’t get it out I was going to die.”
Kramer is mainly known for her roles in TV series such as „One Tree Hill”, „Grey’s Anatomy” and „Entourage”.
