Dr. Pimple Popper’s On-Set Stroke Sparks Health Wake-Up Call
Dr. Sandra Lee revealed she suffered an ischemic stroke during Season 2 filming of Dr. Pimple Popper, causing a two-month production pause. An MRI confirmed the stroke after she experienced slurred speech and weakness; she recovered with physical and occupational therapy and later spoke of PTSD from the incident. Lee now urges viewers to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and stress, calling the episode a “blessing in disguise” that reminded her to take better care of her health.
