Val Kilmer Undergoes Emergency Surgery for Throat Tumor

Val Kilmer is said to be recovering after a major health scare. The Tombstone star was rushed to UCLA Medical Center on Monday night after he started bleeding from his throat and ended up undergoing emergency surgery to treat a tumor, TMZ reported.
The Santa Monica Fire Department confirmed to People that a call came in at 11:31 p.m. on Jan. 26 and the patients was transported via ALS to UCLA's Santa Monica location. While ALS stands for advanced life support, that doesn't necessarily mean Kilmer's situation was that dire; the ALS crew is dispatched for other types of situations as well.
