Richard Osman Hospitalized for Kidney Stone Surgery

Richard Osman, the 54-year-old TV presenter known for shows like 'Pointless' and 'House of Games', was rushed to Charing Cross Hospital in London after experiencing severe pain due to a kidney stone. On his podcast, 'The Rest Is Entertainment', Osman described the pain as the most intense he's ever felt, even more painful than childbirth according to his doctors. Despite receiving liquid morphine, the pain persisted until he underwent surgery to remove the stone. Post-surgery, Osman expressed relief and gratitude towards the hospital staff and acknowledged the advice to drink more water to prevent future occurrences. Kidney stones can affect individuals aged 30 to 60 and are often extremely painful, sometimes requiring surgical removal. Osman humorously advised listeners to avoid kidney stones, underscoring the painful experience he endured.
