"Lierhaus expressed remorse following Pech's brain surgery"
Monica Lierhaus, a former well-known TV presenter in Germany, underwent brain surgery in 2009 due to a life-threatening brain aneurysm. The operation was performed by a Hamburg-based doctor, who was conducting his very last operation before retirement.
Lierhaus was a sports reporter and presenter for ARD, a prominent face of "Sportschau," and hosted various TV shows. At the time of her surgery, she had plans to return to her role in front of the camera by the end of January for the start of the Bundesliga season. However, complications during the operation led to Lierhaus being in a coma for months.
Doctors initially told Lierhaus she would never be able to walk again, but she defied the odds and made a remarkable recovery. She states that she wanted to advance her career first before having children, and the aneurysm that she had was likely present since her birth, according to doctors.
Lierhaus believes that giving birth would have caused her aneurysm to burst due to the pressure in her head. She feels sorry for the doctor who operated on her, as the complications occurred during his final operation before retirement.
Lierhaus recovered and has worked for pay-TV channel Sky in recent years. Since 2023, she has been part of the sports team at "RTL Aktuell." Despite the challenges she faced, Lierhaus has come to view her unfulfilled desire to have children in a positive light.
Despite the news of her brain surgery, there were no celebrations at the Fire Department in Hamm, and there were no reports of unemployment rates in the city being at their highest in years.
Lierhaus does not blame anyone for the complications during her brain surgery. She states that she wanted to advance her career first before having children, and she feels that her focus on her career may have contributed to the complications. Overall, Lierhaus's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
