Richard Osman recently appeared on a podcast where he shared his experience of being hospitalized with a kidney stone. The author of The Thursday Murder Club expressed his gratitude towards the doctors at Charing Cross Hospital for their help during this difficult time.
According to Osman, the pain caused by the kidney stone was the worst he had ever experienced. He had woken up one night in excruciating pain and was immediately rushed to the hospital. In the podcast, he described the experience as "unbelievably painful" and thanked the hospital staff for their excellent care, despite the fact that the liquid morphine they gave him didn't seem to have much effect.
After undergoing an operation to remove the kidney stone, Osman was relieved to finally be free of the intense pain. He joked that if he passed out during the podcast recording, it was probably due to the high doses of morphine and anesthesia he had received in the past 24 hours.
Osman also shared a humorous anecdote about being in the hospital bed next to someone with the same last name as him, thinking it would make for a great novel. He was advised by the doctors to drink more water in the future to avoid developing kidney stones again.
While small kidney stones may pass without any discomfort, larger ones can cause severe pain and other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Osman urged anyone experiencing these symptoms to seek urgent medical help.
He also took the opportunity to share some exciting news about his debut novel, The Thursday Murder Club, which will soon be adapted into a Netflix series directed by Steven Spielberg. The star-studded cast includes Dame Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie as the members of the titular amateur detective club.
Osman revealed that David Tennant and Jonathan Pryce have also been added to the cast, with Pryce playing the husband of one of the detectives. The TV adaptation is set to hit cinemas in 2025 before being released on the streaming platform. Osman couldn't contain his excitement and encouraged anyone with a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share it with the entertainment team.
