Stephen Graham recounted his horrifying flight experience to the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Stating emphatically, "fucking terrifying" was his assessment of the ordeal. This incident occurred after Graham had undergone a common procedure, a catheter insertion, that many men over 45 often require to manage urinary issues. Unfortunately, the procedure went awry during the flight.
The Lavatory Nightmare
Graham recalled his predicament while on the john. "I can't piss," he initially assumed, attributing the problem to dehydration. However, after multiple attempts, he realized something was amiss.
Upon a subsequent visit to the bathroom, a torrent of blood shocked the actor, sending him into a full-blown panic attack. "I couldn't stop it - the sheer amount of blood was very frightening," he described the harrowing scene.

In a turn of fortune, a lucky coincidence came into play. Graham remembered a selfie he had taken with a fan (who happened to be a doctor) before boarding the plane. The doctor, named Dr. Ola, was on the flight, and he had a surgeon friend named Dr. Haji accompanying him. Upon learning of Graham's predicament, Dr. Haji responded, "We've got this."
The Surgery Circus
The stage was set for the extraordinary surgical intervention that took place right there in the cabin. Dr. Haji disinfected the area, grabbed a catheter from the emergency kit, and instructed Graham to drop his pants and lie down on the couch.
After a successful procedure, the relieved actor took a memento selfie with the crew and the medical professionals, immortalizing the unforgettable moment at 36,000 feet.
