Social media influencer Maya Wertheimer caused concern among her followers on Wednesday when she posted an Instagram story from a hospital hallway, describing her morning as "complex." She later reassured her audience that the medical incident had passed without serious consequence and that she and her family were back home.

Wertheimer shared that the experience put things into perspective, stating, "But mainly a morning that really, really puts things into proportion." She emphasized that health is paramount, especially on a day when the election results were being published. "Listen for a moment? Everything is vanity. Politics didn't interest me, elections. Nothing, nada. Only health. Everything is fine and we are back home and that's what's important," she wrote.

She recounted receiving numerous messages in WhatsApp groups filled with dire predictions, but she chose to focus on the positive. "When we were in the hospital my phone filled up with messages in the 'everything is black as pitch' WhatsApp groups and I said, 'Wow, no. Everything is really fine. Did you wake up healthy? The sun is shining outside, right? There is a new day and an opportunity to do good on earth and the eternal people are not afraid of a long road, you guys. So everything is fine."

Wertheimer also shared that a psalm of gratitude helped her through the stressful morning. "And every time I worried I returned to it. I said thank you. I said thank you, mother, so many points of light were in that moment and I focused only on what I have control over and I breathed. Maybe it will help you too for a moment to know that we don't have control over everything and that we need to focus on what we can do and in that you will be amazing."

Responding to a follower who suggested her perspective would change if she had won election-related engagement, Wertheimer clarified that when one is in the emergency room, nothing else matters but returning home, wishing the follower never experiences such distress.
