Jeremy Clarkson Rushed to Hospital in 'Urgent' Update - Liverpool Echo
Clarkson needed urgent NHS care after being too far from private facilities despite insurance, calling his treatment "Defcon 1 painful" but praising staff professionalism.
- On October 12, Jeremy Clarkson was rushed to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford for urgent treatment just hours after publishing a scathing Sunday Times column about the NHS.
- Having paid for private cover for years, Jeremy Clarkson grew disillusioned with private health insurers and last weekend was two hours from the nearest private healthcare provider, leaving the NHS as his only option.
- Describing the treatment, Clarkson called it `Defcon 1 painful` and praised hospital staff and facilities as `spotless`, saying he `genuinely couldn't find anything to moan about`.
- He was discharged the next morning and said `It was OK, I've slept in way worse hotels.`, despite praising care, Clarkson reiterated the NHS is unaffordable and warned the chancellor may need more funds.
- Against a backdrop of prior scares in recent years when he said he was `days from death`, Jeremy Clarkson proposed banning tanning salons, wood-burning stoves and meat, and suggested encouraging migrants to cut wage costs.
