Tragic News:Georgie Henley Rushed to Hospital After Medical Emergency Today due to….
After developing a flesh-eating illness, an actor from the Chronicles of Narnia movies commended a hospital for its “excellent care.”
Georgie Henley, 27, who portrayed Lucy Pevensie in three motion pictures, was admitted to Cambridge’s Addenbrooke’s Hospital at the age of eighteen due to necrotizing fasciitis.
She said that although the virus had “wreaked havoc” on her body, “extensive” surgery performed by the hospital had preserved her arm.
“Delighted to receive positive feedback,” the hospital declared.
Born and raised in Bradford, West Yorkshire, Henley portrayed Lucy, the youngest of the four Pevensie siblings, in Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from 2005 to 2008.
She had what she called “a severe and terrible virus that nearly claimed my life and spread devastation throughout my body” during her sixth week of college at Cambridge University in 2013.
According to the NHS, necrotizing fascilitis can happen if a wound becomes infected and requires emergency hospital care.
Henley said on Instagram that she underwent “grueling invasive surgery, and later major reconstructive surgery which resulted in a series of skin grafts and scars” to save her left hand and arm from being amputated.
She said, “I want to express my gratitude to Addenbrooke’s Hospital for their wonderful treatment.”
Henley continued, saying that although she had been “transparent” about her scars in her private life, she had not felt comfortable sharing them in her professional life until nine years later.
“Even though it has taken me a while to recover psychologically and physically, I always thought the time would come to discuss what had happened… It is a new day today,” she stated.
“Because the sector I work in frequently emphasizes a very specific definition of what constitutes visual “perfection,” I was concerned that my scars would make it difficult for me to get employment.”
Her scars, she continued, “do not impede my capacity as an actor” and are “not something to be ashamed of.”
“I am honored to be a person in this field with visible scars,” she remarked.

“While we cannot comment on specific instances, our committed team is always thrilled to get positive feedback, especially when it is worded so thoughtfully,” a representative for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust stated.
“We are always here to help you on that journey, but sometimes the path to recovery can be long and need much fortitude.”
