"Emily in Paris" star Ashley Park revealed she recently experienced a health scare in a foreign country.
Park posted photos and videos from her time in the ICU after being diagnosed with tonsillitis — which turned into "critical septic shock." The actress had been on vacation at the time of her illness.
"While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs," Park captioned the post. "I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told."

Park, who stars as Mindy Chen on the Netflix series, revealed she spent a week in the ICU undergoing "countless scans and tests and injections, [and] excruciating pain" in three foreign hospitals.
"And I’m deeply grateful to every doctor and ICU nurse who worked tirelessly and especially the @JoaliBeing team for responding immediately and staying with me to provide language translations and vital support," Park shared. "Infinite thanks to my personal team of heroes at home who were on calls with insurance, Paul, my parents, and doctors at all hours (you know who you are)."
"I hesitated to share what’s been happening as I’m still in the throes of recovery…but I now know I’m safely on the other side of the worst," she added.
