Why do doctors say Stat ? On TV, when a doctor wants a tool in surgery quickly, they say something like scalpel, stat. What does that mean? is it an acronym? what does the word stem from.
Selena Gomez. SELENA Gomez is battling the auto-immune disease lupus. According to US reports, the 21-year-old singer, who ditched the rest of her world tour (including shows in Australia), shortly before Christmas, was apparently diagnosed a few years ago, but is now suffering from complications, which have forced her to cancel dates.
People with juvenile onset Lupus are vulnerable to skin rashes, alopecia and ulcerations of the mucous membranes. It has not been announced exactly what kind of lupus has affected Gomez, but reports suggest that she is suffering from fatigue, anxiety and depression. This is the reason why Gomez has decided to take some time off from her hectic schedule of singing and doing live shows.
