Mala Cana Faces Emergency Surgery in Pancevo
The singer was admitted with severe stomach pain, and Kurir reports emergency surgery is set for Tuesday. A dog bit her a week earlier.
Singer Mala Cana (Svetlana Tomic, according to Informer) has been admitted to hospital with severe stomach pain, and Kurir reports that emergency surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20. On Monday evening she said herself that an operation awaits her. The type of surgery and the diagnosis have not been published.
What did the singer say from the hospital?
Kurir called Mala Cana to check the information it had obtained from sources. She could not talk, so she answered with a message. She wrote that she came to the hospital because of stomach pain and remembers nothing, except waking up in the hospital in the morning. According to her, doctors have been calming an inflammation for days.
She does not hide her fear. This is her first operation:
I’m afraid of needles, and I’ve never had an operation before.
She praised the doctor who will operate on her, then added that she believes in a good outcome but does not hold it in her own hands:
It’s all in their hands, and God’s.
She also said she feels calm inside, even though, as she puts it, she cannot understand herself: “Somehow I’m calm in my soul, I just can’t understand myself.” She ended her message with lines that both outlets carried:
If everything goes as it should, thank God and the doctor and the whole team around him. If not, my Andrija will be waiting for me
She is thinking of her husband, the musician Andrija Bajic, who died a few months ago.
Where is the singer being treated?
Informer writes that a photo from a hospital bed in Pancevo appeared on the singer’s Instagram profile. Neither source says which ward she is on. Mala Cana has been in Pancevo before: after the dog bite she went to stay with her godparents in that city and had her leg treated there.
What happened before?
A week ago a dog bit her, leaving deep wounds, scratches and large bruises on her leg. Kurir and Informer recall that the singer claimed at the time that she was insulted during the incident:
They cursed at me there when the dog bit me, they used abusive words. They told me how strong they were. Then their mutt bit me up and I went to my godparents in Pancevo and had my leg taken care of, all that. They gave me everything I need, but today I felt sick in my stomach and now they don’t know what it is.
In the same statement she said she felt sick in her stomach. The case has been reported to the police. Mala Cana said: “Everything has been reported to the police. It all went too far. The leg thing is finished, I’m getting injections, I go for dressings.” Kurir attributes that statement to Telegraf, while Informer carries it as a statement given to Kurir, so the sources disagree on who she told.
Kurir also notes that, asked from her hospital bed what exactly had happened, she answered briefly: “I had some kind of attack.”
What is known and what is not
It is confirmed that the singer is hospitalized, that doctors have been treating an inflammation for days, and that emergency surgery has been announced for Tuesday. It has not been published what kind of procedure it is, or what is causing the pain. Kurir also states that Mala Cana has never had an operation before, which matches her message.
Kurir published the story as an exclusive, after checking with the singer herself.
