Amy Winehouse spends night in hospital
August 4th, 2008
You would think that I would get sick of writing about Amy Winehouse, but I don’t think that is possible. The singing sensation is constantly in a state of drama and it is almost to the point where her weird and erratic behavior is the norm. Soap opera writers couldn’t come up with a character as good as Amy.
Amy took time out from public intoxification and randomly doling out smack-downs to be rushed to hospital by ambulance. According to her spokesperson, Chris Goodman, the Rehab songstress suffered an adverse reaction to medication she was taking. That tends to happen if you drink like a fish while taking meds. This reaction resulted in Amy needing to be taken to the University College Hospital were she was admitted for overnight detox, I mean, observation.
A spokesperson for UCH has said that, “Our doctors decided to keep her overnight for observation. She had a comfortable night and will be discharged today.” On his way in to visit his daughter in hospital, Winehouse’s father, Mitch, asked the media and paparazzi to leave his family alone. Showing off a bag of fast food he told reporters, “This is how serious it is,” when pressed about her condition.
She has since been released and is back home. In his statement, Goodman says, “She had a bit of a scare yesterday because of a reaction to treatment. She was kept in overnight purely for observation. Amy is at home now after leaving with her father and manager. She is having a rest.”
This latest medical emergency comes amid grave concerns for the singer’s health. Her prior stay in hospital resulted in a diagnoses of early stage emphysema due to her chronic cigarette and crack habits. The diagnoses didn’t seem to faze the slightly crazy singer at all, as she still puffs away like a chimney every chance she gets.
