Louise Thompson, best known for her stint on Made In Chelsea, was rushed to hospital over the festive period and has updated her concerned fans with the “magnitude” of the situation
Made In Chelsea’s Louise Thompson has spent Christmas in hospital.
The reality TV star took the time to praise the NHS for arranging an “urgent” appointment and shared a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown on Instagram.
Louise explained: “Looks dramatic but it wasn’t. I had a proctoscopy today. It’s like a colonoscopy but not as invasive because I don’t have a colon so there isn’t very far the camera can go.” She went on to describe the procedure as “Still b***** awkward and a tiny bit uncomfortable but fentanyl is a wonder drug.”
In another snap she can be seen with a nasal cannula. Louise continued: “These appointments are so important and they managed to fit me in quite urgently so I jumped at the offering of a 24th December date, then when it came around I realised the magnitude of it being Christmas Eve.”
Louise expressed her gratitude towards the NHS, stating that she feels “incredibly lucky” that the service “never clocks off in case of emergencies”. She continued to heap praise on the NHS, saying: “Despite all the chaos of what I’ve been through, I still think we are incredibly lucky to have the NHS which NEVER clocks off in case of emergencies,” reports the Mirror.
The day after, Louise extended a heartfelt thank you to the medical staff who assisted her: “I was going to do a main feeder but I really want to go to sleep instead. Here was my caption. The NHS never sleeps. I had a proctoscope today. A nice little Christmas Eve camera up the bum. The NHS was still running in full swing. (Well not quite but you know what I mean)”.
“It prompted me to say a big thank you to everyone that is working as part of the NHS over the bank holidays. Thanks for keeping the country ticking along and for keeping our loved ones alive.”
Louise has been battling various health complications for several years. Back in 2021, she almost died during the birth of her son Leo-Hunter and required an emergency c-section that led to the loss of 12 and a half litres of blood.
