The actress Marta Angelat explains that she has overcome a coma

BarcelonaThe actress Marta Angelat has revealed that she spent a few days in a coma. She explained this on the program El suplement, from Catalunya Ràdio, presented by Roger Escapa. The performer, known for her dubbing work and for her roles in series such as Estació d’enllaç, Polseres vermelles or Com si fos ahir, was admitted to the hospital as an emergency on Sant Jordi's day, without knowing that the bacteria affecting her would threaten her life.

“My body reacted in a very dramatic way, I had an inflammatory reaction throughout my entire body and I went to the ICU. I had a slight fever, but that night I was already admitted to the ICU, just like that, quickly, without being conscious of anything,” she recounted. After ten days in a coma and four weeks in intensive care, she also recalled a tough recovery: “Afterwards I was awake, but I couldn't speak, because I was connected to a respiratory machine. And I couldn't eat, because I was on a gastric tube. But at no point did I have the feeling of danger. I was convinced that I would overcome that.”

Having overcome this bacterial pneumonia, Angelat will soon know if she takes home the Butaca award for her role as Romina in Una festa a Roma, the play written by Marc Artigau. The actress, meanwhile, explains that the health scare has forced her to reconsider her life: “It has made me rethink that I must do everything I want to do. It was not my time and there are many things that I want to do. I already wanted to do them before this happened to me and now it has given me the certainty that I must do them, that one must take advantage. I am looking for plays, texts... I have a great desire to direct.”
