'Supernatural' Star Mark Sheppard Stages Comeback After Heart Attack Ordeal
Mark Sheppard, the famous 'Supernatural' and 'Battlestar Galactica' actor, shared his harrowing experience on Instagram, where he revealed collapsing in his kitchen while heading to an appointment. As it turned out, he had suffered six heart attacks the previous day.
The heart attack was attributed to a clogged left anterior descending artery, popularly dubbed as LAD, from the perspective of Johns Hopkins University Medicine. This artery supplies the left frontal part of the heart with oxygen-rich blood. When obstructions occur in this artery, often referred to as the "Widow-maker" due to its lethality, it can significantly impact the heart's functioning.
Sheppard profoundly expressed his gratitude, attributing his survival chances to his wife, the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center. In his words, "Without my wife, the Fire Department of Los Angeles, and the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, I wouldn't be writing this."
Luckily, Sheppard reported feeling great and expressed his humility, saying, "I feel fantastic. Embarrassed." This announcement was met with support from his 'Supernatural' co-star Misha Collins, who shared his admiration, expressing, "You have impressed us well enough. Get better and join us again."
Kim Rhodes, another 'Supernatural' co-star, also shared her sentiments and encouraged Sheppard, stating, "Thank you for being here."
Sheppard's defiant spirit was evident in his message, expressing optimism and enthusiasm for his road to recovery: "The good news is that I'm on the mend."
