  "account": "South African DJ Lamiez Holworthy-Morule recounted a harrowing near-death experience after her ovarian cyst ruptured during travel to a gig on National Women’s Day. The incident occurred on August 9th, just minutes before she was set to perform in Brits. Holworthy had been suffering from recurring cysts and severe pain, but had postponed surgery to fulfill her professional obligations. This decision proved catastrophic when her cyst ruptured, leading to an immediate emergency surgery. Despite the operation, she was rushed back into surgery hours later due to internal bleeding, requiring another emergency procedure and a blood transfusion. Holworthy emphasized the importance of listening to one's body and urged women not to ignore persistent or unusual pain. She encouraged seeking medical attention, warning that ignoring such issues could be fatal. Holworthy also addressed online rumors linking her hospitalization to a cosmetic procedure, clarifying that she had only had liposuction in 2021. She criticized cyberbullying and urged those dealing with personal issues to seek constructive support. Holworthy has since been discharged and is recovering at home with her husband and family.",
