After experiencing a brush with death last year, River City star Iain Robertson has admitted his doctors are now “sick fed up” of seeing him.
The 41-year-old, who plays Stevie O’Hara in the Scottish soap, alarmed fans when he posted a picture of himself at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital telling his followers to “go see yer doctor”.
He can now reveal he’d been trying to ignore two infected cysts on his bottom for years and had blamed the dizziness it caused on his new varifocals.
Iain, who returns for a third series of Iain Robertson Rambles, admitted: “It was a threat to my life in the end.
“My poor doctor had never even met me. My old doctor had gone and I had never gone to the new one, so after the experience with hospital now they are sick fed up seeing me. I’m always there... ‘I’ve got this little thing in my eye. I’ve a bit of arthritis can you give me something for that?’
“I’m getting my money’s worth out the doctor now.”
The actor said he’d been trying to manage the cysts for years with the pain coming and going. But the month before he went to hospital, the infection had worsened.
He said: “When I eventually went to my doctors, they couldn’t believe I could still walk and told me I had to go to hospital straight away.
“When I got to the hospital, they told me my infection levels were through the roof and wasn’t I dizzy?
“I told them I’d just got new varifocals and I thought it was my glasses that had made me dizzy.”
Iain, who became famous aged 13 playing Lex in 1996 Glasgow gang film Small Faces, admitted his reluctance to go to the doctors was because of his mum.
The family of five siblings lived in a two room flat in Govan.
Iain said: “I’m from a generation where we weren’t allowed to go to the doctor or have a day
