Though the reason for her request remains private, Barr’s emotional appeal comes just a month after she shared troubling health news, according to OK!.
During the Monday, March 30, episode of “The Roseanne Barr Podcast,” she shared, "This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged.”
"So now I'm so p-----," she admitted. "Because I'm like, I need a new doctor. He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out. And I’m like, why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?"

The post comes after Roseanne Barr revealed concerns about a possible heart condition.
Barr went on to explain that her biggest fear centers around undergoing surgery.
"I mean, it doesn't make any sense," she continued. "I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home. What do they call that place? Hospice."
While the sitcom star hasn’t shared specific details about her current diagnosis, she recently opened up about a string of injuries she’s had since moving to Texas.
“I'm doing a lot of mowing. I've got a really fantastic tractor out here, and I'm mowing. The only problem is I don't clear the trees quite as good as I should, and I'm always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head,” she explained.

Roseanne Barr expressed fear and frustration about undergoing potential surgery.
She even recalled one particularly scary moment.
“So, I've had several injuries recently. I had this one tree … I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor. So I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds," Barr shared.
