This Morning’s Dr. Scott Miller Hospitalized After Experiencing ‘Worst Pain’ of His Life
This Morning star Dr. Scott Miller has been rushed to the hospital after experiencing what he described as “the worst pain” of his life. The Australian TV personality, best known for his work on the ITV breakfast program advising viewers on pet care, revealed his health scare through a heartfelt video from his hospital bed.
Posting a video from the hospital, Dr. Scott shared that he was “in a lot of pain” after spending the night in A&E. Speaking to the camera, he explained he was having a “tough time” after severely injuring his back and was unable to stand.
Despite his own suffering, Dr. Scott expressed his distress over the current scenes of unrest and violence in the UK. “Of the people who have treated me, 95% have had accents, like me, and if it wasn’t for them this place wouldn’t run,” he said. He urged people to “be kind and calm and appreciate everyone no matter what their color or race,” adding, “Immigrants bring so much, and I am one too.”
In a more detailed post, Dr. Scott praised the hospital staff for their exceptional care, saying, “The staff has been amazing, so attentive and kind as I received pain medication, examinations, and soon an MRI for the worst back pain I’ve ever experienced in my life.” He emphasized his gratitude for the NHS and the diverse workforce that sustains it, noting, “There is no way this hospital could run without them.”
He continued, “Generalisations are truly the worst thing we can do as humans, and to blame a section of society for one person’s actions makes no sense. I remind myself that I am not British, and in the Veterinary and many other health professions, we rely on foreigners heavily to care for patients both human and animal.”
Dr. Scott concluded his post with a call for unity, writing, “I hope everyone can come together to support the families of the three beautiful children and mourn beside them, rallying behind what is one of the best things about British society, its diversity.”
He is now set to undergo an MRI, and he thanked the NHS and “all the amazing staff” who keep it running. His post was flooded with messages of support, including from This Morning host Dermot O’Leary, who wrote, “Hey man, get well soon.” Followers also expressed their well-wishes, with one commenting, “Sorry to hear you’re in such pain, Dr. Scott. Sending all my best wishes for a speedy recovery!”
Dr. Scott, who began working as a vet in 1997, has long been passionate about the profession. Earlier this year, he explained to OK! magazine, “There’s certainly a huge benefit to having animals around us because they’re very calming. An animal is often someone you can trust to read your moods, feelings, and thoughts.”
This passion was fueled by his own childhood experiences, as he noted, “As a child, way before I was diagnosed with autism, I struggled socially and realized the benefit of having animals around.” Alongside his appearances on This Morning, Dr. Scott runs three small animal practices in south-west London and has previously appeared on Crufts, Blue Peter, and The Paul O’Grady Show.
