So even though I feel limp and move like an arthritic old man, there’s nothing that a good rest and a few cuddles can’t heal. Thank you to all those who came to the place, @bomberosmad, @policiademadrid and #Samur for attending to me so quickly and efficiently, and to the staff of the Emergency Department of the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, of Trauma, Surgery and Radiology, for their attention and professionalism.” The actor wanted to thank the emergency services that attended and transported him, and also the health professionals who treated him.
