In an effort to call attention to the life-threatening dangers of pneumonia, Whoopi Goldberg’s doctor appeared on “The View” Monday to share grim details about the show’s co-host contracting the illness. “I could barely understand Whoopi, what she was saying,” Dr. Jorge Rodriguez said, recalling a phone call he received from the star in January. The doctor then suggested Goldberg cover herself with a blanket, but she explained she couldn’t even walk a couple of feet. She said she was thinking of taking a rest, but Rodriguez urged her not to sleep because he was worried she wouldn’t wake up. “I was afraid she wasn’t going to wake up because you don’t know if someone when they give you those clues ― is she really now just tired or is she going to become unconscious and this is it?”
