ER STAR DEEZER D IN HOSPITAL

ER actor DEEZER D is recovering in hospital after undergoing major surgery to correct potentially fatal heart problems.
The star, who played Nurse Malik MCGrath on the long-running medical drama, had his aorta replaced and a leaking heart valve fixed in a gruelling six-hour operation on Tuesday (14Jul09) in Los Angeles.
Deezer - real name Dearon Thompson - is currently in the intensive care unit as he recuperates.
A source close to the actor tells RadarOnline.com, "It's the watch-and-wait period now but if all goes well, he'll be moved to a regular floor for another seven days.
"Once his cardiologist gives the all-clear, he'll be home - but with no more cigars and no strenuous exercise for awhile."
