Ozzy Osbourne has shared how his 2003 quad bike accident affected his opinion of doctors.
During Tuesday's episode of The Osbournes Podcast, the Black Sabbath singer and co-hosts Jack, Kelly, and Sharon Osbourne spoke to a friend named Dr Greg about emergency room work.
"We have a lot of love and respect for emergency room doctors, because they saved Dad's life," Kelly said of Ozzy. "In England on the NHS and everything, I saw first-hand how quickly you have to make such an important decision with such little information."
Dr Greg responded, "That definitely happens sometimes... In some cases it's hard, because you don't know what's going on. But in some cases that becomes very, very easy, because there's first-order principles for us - we talk about ABCs in the emergency room."
When Kelly asserted that Ozzy, 75, would "love going to the doctor", Sharon replied, "Not anymore."
Ozzy crashed a quad bike in 2003, necessitating surgery in which metal rods were installed in his body. In 2019, the singer suffered a fall which dislodged the rods and so required more operations.
"I f**king hate them," Ozzy said of doctors during Tuesday's podcast. "I've probably seen more doctors than this guy (Dr Greg)."
He announced last year that he needed to undergo another operation, this time on his neck.
"I'm going for an epidural soon because what they've discovered is the neck has been fixed. Below the neck there's two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there's nothing left of 'em," Ozzy explained at the time. "All I know is... is right now I'm in a lot of pain. I'm in a lot of discomfort."
