The Australian actress then recalled having trouble being admitted. 

“We called an ambulance and it took hours to find a hospital that would be able to take me or anyone,” she recalled as her eyes began to well with tears.  Rose said even though her case was “quite serious,” hospitals were rejecting people but she was able to finally get a room “after a bit of a standoff.”

“I’m just sending around love…love you all are care of yourselves,” she concluded.
