As Bruce Willis remains absent from the spotlight due to health issues, his wife Emma Heming opened up about an unexpected call she received from a “prominent doctor.”

Her revelation came a few days after she shared an important message related to the passing of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa.

In a recent Instagram video, Emma narrated the conversation she had with the doctor over the phone.

The doctor spoke to her about a patient’s diagnosis of young-onset Alzheimer’s and their family, which includes three children aged 10, 12, and 14.

“He needs all of my resources, any contacts,” Emma said as she explained the doctor’s request.

“And I was like: ‘Huh?’” she added.

Emma revealed that she was more than happy to share her contacts and resources with the doctor, but she was surprised they didn’t already have the resources to help their patient.

“The thing that just boggles my mind is how do our doctors not already have a Rolodex of ways to support caregivers,” she told her audience.

She also noted how she receives messages from family members dealing with dementia diagnoses, who also have questions about resources.

Sometimes, these families might not even be in the same city or state as her, she noted.

When the action hero received his diagnosis, all that Emma received was a “pamphlet”

“It’s just like, they need to do better. Doctors need to do better,” she said. “Doctors really do need to have a road map of just some support.”

She revealed that she touches upon the subject in her upcoming book The Unexpected Journey: Finding Hope And Purpose On The Caregiving Path.

When her action hero husband Bruce received his diagnosis, she admitted that a pamphlet was all she got.

“I was not handed one resource and we gotta put an end to that,” she added.

“Doctors need to do better,” said the Die Hard actor’s unwavering partner

Emma’s brief heart-to-heart came shortly after she spoke about the late Gene Hackman and his longtime wife and caregiver, Betsy Arakawa.

Betsy’s decomposing body was found in their Santa Fe home on February 26.

Officials believe she passed away on February 11 from hantavirus, which spreads by contact with rodents or their urine or feces.
