Actress Ruby Rose revealed on ???? ???Thursday that she underwent emergency surgery earlier in 2019 after a stunt injury left her at risk of paralysis.
The Batwoman star discussed her experience in an Instagram post, which also included a graphic video of the surgery itself. (We don't recommend watching if you're squeamish, but it is pretty metal.)
"To everyone asking about my new Pez dispenser scar on my neck... A couple of months ago I was told I needed an emergency surgery or I was risking becoming paralyzed... I had herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal chord [sic]," she wrote.

Why film your own surgery? Grey's Anatomy,that's why: Rose mentioned in her caption that while she did just want to see what happened during surgery (fair), she was also thinking of that Grey'sepisode where they unwittingly leave a towel inside a patient.
Fortunately, there were no towel-related mishaps during this surgery, and Rose seems to be recovering well. She thanked her surgeon, Dr. Robert Bray, for helping her through the ordeal: "Thank you Dr. Bray for everything you did and for allowing me to keep working and doing what I love," she wrote. "I am forever in your debt."
Rose previously had spinal surgery in Jan. 2018 after dealing with back pain for several years.
