Jeremy Renner visits hospital staff ‘who saved my life’
Jeremy Renner has visited the hospital where health care pros pulled him back from the brink of death after his near-fatal snowplow accident in January.
The actor — still recovering from devastating injuries — shared photos of him with staff at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, to his Instagram story on Friday.
“I got to revisit the amazing group of people who saved my life,” Renner, 52, captioned the pictures, adding hearts and praying hand emojis.
Another photo showed the Marvel actor with a surgeon, captioned, “Thank you,” as well as a photo of him with his cane in front of the medical center’s sign.
Renner’s hospital visit comes after his first red carpet since the incident for the Disney+ premiere for “Rennervations,” as well as his first late-night appearance since on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
The “Hawkeye” star first shared that he was going to visit the hospital during his appearance on “Kimmel.”
He revealed on the talk show that he got kicked out of the first ICU he was in, which was under construction, so he was put in what he described as a “janitor’s closet” and said it was like a “haunted house.”
“I’m going back to this hospital this week to apologize to every one of those nurses,” Renner declared with a laugh.
Renner was critically injured in a snowplow incident on New Year’s Day and was hospitalized after “experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow” and suffering “extensive” injuries, breaking over 30 bones, in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
He was airlifted to a hospital near Reno, Nevada, after a neighbor who happened to be a doctor applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop the bleeding.
Renner was later transferred to the intensive care unit after surgeries following the incident.
The two-time Oscar nominee came home from the hospital in January and has been recovering since.
The actor also did his first on-screen interview since the incident earlier this month, speaking to ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer.
He told Sawyer, 77, that he refuses to be “haunted” by the memory of the accident.
“I shifted the narrative of it being victimized or making a mistake or anything else,” Renner said in the hourlong special. “I refuse to be f – – king haunted by that memory that way.”
He also revealed in the interview that he was writing his “last words” to his family while in the hospital.
“I’m writing down notes on my phone. Last words to my family,” he shared, holding back tears.
