Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta made an appearance on the Dr. Oz show earlier this week (November 18, 2014).

Dr. Mehmet Oz spoke to the reality star about her pulmonary embolism (Blood Clots) and Leakes reconfirmed that she sat out the recent RHOA girl’s trip to the Philippines due to her medical issue.

As previously posted, Leakes didn’t accompany her co-stars to the Philippines for fear that the 19-hour flight could have caused another blood clot. Dr. Oz said pulmonary embolisms (or blockages of an artery in the lung) can be deadly, and told NeNe she was smart to bypass the trip and that she was lucky to be alive.
