Veteran actor, Olumide Bakare was rushed to the University College Hospital, UCH in Ibadan, Oyo State last month where he is right now receiving treatment.
The Ibadan-based thespian suffered a heart attack before now which almost claimed his life.
Last Wednesday 3rd February 2016, in an interview with a City People Yoruba Movie Reporter Olumide revealed his sickness started since 2013 before progressing to what it is now.
Excerpts from his interview below:
How did the sickness start?
It has started since 2013 but it wasn’t as bad at it is now, we have treated it but you know things like that don’t go easily. About 15 days ago, the sickness resurfaced and I was rushed to the emergency unit of University College Hospital, Ibadan where I have been admitted.
What did doctors diagnose when you were brought in?
After the test was conducted, the result revealed that I am suffering from “Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm and Pulmonary Embolism” which has to do with heart related issues. From the diagram, it showed that there is a blockage in the vein that takes blood to the heart.
Is it true the injection you take daily cost #40,000 daily?
That is not true. It is #14,000 plus per one and it’s called Clexane injection and I take 4 per day. I have been on it now for 21 days.
What was doctors’ comment on the cause of the ailment?
Initially, I was diagnosed with blood clot before it affected the heart.
When you were diagnosed with that, was it neglected or you actually treated it?
It was treated. It is a thing that when it gets started, it is not something that heals on time. It can be managed if at the end of the day it doesn’t arrive at surgery. I have been managing it before the heart problem set in.
