Sarah Silverman shares how she almost died due to a rare throat disease
Today ^ | 7-7-16

Comedian Sarah Silverman is known for her sarcastic wit and controversial sense of humor, but her most recent Facebook post is no laughing matter.

The star revealed Wednesday that she is "insanely lucky to be alive" after what she thought was just a sore throat wound up being a severe case of epiglottitis, a condition where the epiglottis — a small cartilage structure in your throat that covers the windpipe and protects the trachea — swells. In rare cases, this can result in a blockage of the flow of air into your lungs — and can be life threatening.

I know she doesn't have a lot of fans here because of her stand on abortion as well as inserting 'jokes' about abortion in her show, but I hope her situation gives her a less ghoulish outlook on life. Her fakebook post pisses me off and makes me sad at the same time.

She’s an unfunnny horribly anti-Christianity so called comedian. I shed no tears.

One would hope she would learn a lesson about the value and miracle of life.

The world almost lost an unfunny comedian. Too bad.

Trauma related?

It is possible that this close brush with death will make her realize just how hateful and vicious her “comedy” is and she will change her ways.

On the other hand, people who are born mean don’t usually change.

Sorry. Hope she dies. I know, I’m pissed and I’m saying unkind things about evil assholes.

Too bad about the almost part. She has not talent is not funny. What I don’t get is why she’s called a comedian. The only thing she actually does well is typify New York values.

Bill Bixby’s (My Favorite Martian, Hulk) 6 year old son died of epiglottitis. It was a complication of an severe upper respiratory infection.

I remember reading about it at the time. Very sad.

She doesn’t talk about the agony and death of the children she’s proudly aborted.

I hope she awakens to the truth of Christ and how she has been given another chance.

Seriously.

Watched a couple minutes of her on youtube:
“Mommy is one of the Chosen People
and Daddy thinks Jesus is magic..I hope
the Jews killed Jesus.I hope they’d f-—ing
do it again.”

Doesn't sound like her outlook changed much.

I thanked everyone at the ICU for my life, went home, and then slowly as the opiates faded away, remembered the trauma of the surgery & spent the first two days home kind of free-falling from the meds / lack of meds and the paralyzing realization that nothing matters. Luckily that was followed by the motivating revelation that nothing matters.
