On March 6, 2014, burlesque star and comic, Selene Luna, found herself immobile with excruciating hip pain. The agonizing pain forced her to go to the ER where she was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head. The attending physician told Luna the only solution would be an emergency double-hip replacement. Luna decided to get a second opinion from one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the country and discovered shed been grossly misdiagnosed. Luna has hip tendinitis and does not require surgery. Her misdiagnosis would have been an irreversible error that would have negatively affected Lunas future ability to walk and perform. The following six weeks were an exasperating battle for proper treatment through healthcare system red tape which needlessly prolonged Lunas condition; shes finally on the road to getting physical therapy and medication. In the meantime, Luna has had to cancel two months worth of work. Unfortunately, in the entertainment business sick leave is not a viable option for many artists. Luna is physically and financially devastated, unable to generate income while awaiting physical therapy and medication.
