Surgeon of the Day Apologies Issued by Monica Lierhaus
Monica Lierhaus, a well-known figure in German television, underwent a life-changing brain operation in January 2009. The operation, performed by a professor in a Hamburg clinic, aimed to remove a brain aneurysm that had likely been present since her birth.
During the operation, complications arose, leading to Lierhaus being put into an artificial coma for four months. The surgeon who operated on her was performing his last operation before retirement. Despite the complications, Lierhaus expressed sympathy for him, stating it was simply bad luck, not fault.
Prior to her operation, Lierhaus's career had been her top priority, which unfortunately meant her desire to have children remained unfulfilled. She has since expressed gratitude for not having children, as she believes a birth would have likely caused her aneurysm to burst.
Lierhaus's health condition has significantly impacted her personal life, including her decision not to have children. However, her career in journalism has continued despite the complications from her brain operation. She has worked for pay-TV channel Sky and is currently part of the sports team at "RTL Aktuell".
Lierhaus, who was one of the most famous presenters on German television, reporting on major sports events for ARD and hosting "Sportschau" and various TV shows, has shown compassion towards the operating surgeon. She did not blame anyone for the complications during her operation.
Despite regretting the surgeon who operated on her at the time, Lierhaus has continued to make a positive impact in the world of sports journalism. Her story serves as an inspiration to many, demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
