Empowerment Comedian Ernie T. Gritzewsky aka “Ernie G” suffered a heart attack and went into Cardiac Arrest on December 29, 2021 while performing on stage in Los Angeles. 

After being resuscitated he was rushed to hospital and was told he needed to have Triple Bypass Surgery but because of Covid would have to wait until February 15, 2022 for surgery.

A month after his surgery, Ernie developed a Life Threatening infection of his surgical wound and was put on IV Antibiotics for 6 weeks and may need to be on oral antibiotics for the rest of his life.

Despite all that has happened, Ernie remains positive and hopeful of a full recovery and is using his experience to inspire and help others.
