Jeremy Clarkson reveals he was rushed to hospital for ‘urgent’ medical treatment after branding the NHS as a ‘creaking old monster’

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was hospitalized hours after branding the NHS a ‘creaking old beast’.

The 65-year-old TV star required ‘urgent’ medical treatment at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital on October 5 after becoming ‘unwell’.

Jeremy refused to reveal what treatment he received because ‘it’s none of your business’, but he received the treatment on the same day as his patient. Sunday Times The column in which the health service is planned has been published.

He wrote: ‘I needed urgent hospital treatment. ‘The NHS was my only option.’

The Clarkson’s Farm star described her treatment as ‘Defcon 1 was painful’, adding: ‘Afterwards they had to cut me off the ceiling with a spatula. ‘I had to spend the night here, but it was okay.’

Jeremy continued: ‘I really couldn’t find anything to complain about. The doctors, nurses, and everyone I met were kind. Everything was spotless. Lunch was great food for the kids and they even made me feel better; I will be forever grateful for this.

‘And I’m sure you’re now expecting me to say I’ve changed my mind about the NHS. But I didn’t. Yes, it is a great organization and the front line staff are excellent. But in its current state, we cannot afford this as a nation.’

This comes after Jeremy has been really looking after his health since his scare last year.

Jeremy undergoes a medical examination ‘every two years’ and his last examination finds him undergoing ‘eight hours of rigor’.

He shared that he underwent cardiovascular and liver testing, ultrasound and MRI scans until he received a prostate exam, and none of these gave him any cause for concern.

A prostate exam is where the doctor checks the prostate by inserting his fingers into the rectum.

And the former Top Gear star admitted he can’t understand how the machines can ‘detect what’s going on in every part of your body other than your butt’.

He wrote in an earlier column: ‘They can photograph every part of your ventricles and your brain, but if they want to know what’s going on in your prostate, which lives in the anus, the doctor has to put his finger in there for some reason. I can only assume it’s because he likes it.’

But the TV star said he knew the check was for his own good and was happy to take the test to make sure he wouldn’t ‘drop dead in the morning’.

Jeremy refused to reveal what treatment he had because ‘it’s none of your business’, but he received treatment on the same day he announced the health service in his Sunday Times column.

He continued: ‘The truth is that we need to know these things. I’ve had too many friends get prostate cancer, and all it takes to catch it early is to squint a little for a minute or two. Everything goes well and the doctor returns home happy. What’s not to like?

‘I returned home very happy, because the first inspection and photography showed that everything was fine. And let me tell you, nothing makes you feel better than making sure you don’t drop dead tomorrow morning.’

But during the filming of the fourth season of Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy came terribly close to death.

While working on the opening of The Farmer’s Dog, he became ‘increasingly ill’ before falling into a ‘proper panic’ as he lost all sense of humor and ‘the ability to remain calm’.

Clarkson underwent two-hour emergency surgery to keep her arteries open, improve blood flow to her heart and relieve chest pain.

Doctors told Jeremy that ‘most’ of his current job ‘needed to go’ and suggested he replace it with golf.

Although Jeremy said there was little chance of him quitting working out, he admitted his new diet was ‘terrible’ and the famous meat-eater said he was struggling to ‘make celery interesting’.

So he resorted to Ozempic, used to treat diabetes, but it left him feeling unwell again and he ended his use half a stone heavier than when he started.

‘My body had lost its ability to cope with gluttony,’ he wrote in his column in The Times in March, ‘but after my initial enthusiasm wore off my mind still wanted to have breakfast at Cadbury Fruit & Nut.’

He said: ‘I’m sure you’re expecting me to say I’ve changed my mind about the NHS but I haven’t. Yes, it is an excellent organization, but as a nation, we cannot afford it in its current state.

‘This meant I was very ill. After vomiting I thought I was empty and could drink another bottle, maybe another bar of chocolate.’

‘Microdosing’ Mounjaro worked; A drug that mimics hormones that help regulate appetite and blood sugar.

Jeremy has lost almost two stone and now has a slimmer, healthier look; But he insists girlfriend Lisa Hogan has ‘given up’ on making him look good.

Jeremy told The Sun: ‘Lisa has given up trying to make me look decent. I mean, I’ve never heard such nonsense. Trimming eyebrows? What does it matter? ‘I’m 65, I’m not like David Gandy.’

She added: ‘I’ve lost about a stone and a half, maybe a little more and it’s stabilized now. I think I eat pretty well, I just drink too much; That’s the gist of it.

‘I wish I could do something about it but then I thought ‘what’s the point?’ ‘ I thought.’
