Globo veteran Tony Ramos wasn’t afraid of dying after undergoing his second brain surgery. This is what he told the Fantasticon the night of this Sunday, the 26th, in the first interview carried out in his home.

The 75-year-old actor had been hospitalized since May 16 with a subdural hematoma (intracranial hemorrhage). He was discharged from the Samaritano Botafogo hospital, in Rio de Janeiro, on Friday morning, the 24th.

In an interview on the program, Tony assumed that his wife, Lidiane Barbosa, was worried. He, however, says he remained silent and mentally remembered the entire text of a play he had composed. “And I did it completely, without missing a single comma,” he says.

In the midst of the situation, he said he wasn’t afraid to leave. “Even with all this… Afraid to leave, no. This man… This man is a strong man,” he said emotionally.

Surgical interventions

On Saturday the 18th he was discharged from the intensive care center and transferred to the semi-intensive department. However, on Sunday the 19th, he presented with coagulation complications which led to the formation of new intracranial hematomas and the need for a new operation.

“The Samaritan Hospital informs that Tony Ramos underwent subdural hematoma drainage surgery by the team of Dr. Paulo Niemeyer, yesterday, 05/16. The patient underwent this morning, 05/17 , to a new cranial tomography, which showed significant improvement. Tony is breathing without the aid of equipment, is lucid and his health is stable”, reads the previous medical statement.
