Man is first in Wales to undergo aquablation therapy
Roy Clark, a semi-retired roofer from the North East, had the procedure at Nuffield Health Cardiff and Vale Hospitals to treat an enlarged prostate. Mr Clark said he feels 'total relief' as a result of the procedure and would 'wholeheartedly recommend aquablation and his surgeon Mr Matthew Jeffries.' He had been struggling with an enlarged prostate for years, which came to a head in November 2024 when he had difficulty passing urine. He had to have a catheter fitted in December and was told to return to hospital in Swansea the following week to have the temporary catheter removed. However, he was told he couldn't get a slot until January for the removal and became so ill that he had to attend as an emergency on Christmas Day. He was then told about the new robotic technique, a minimally invasive heat-free water jet procedure.

Lulu Roman, ‘Hee Haw' Star and Gospel Singer, Dies at 78
Lulu Roman played at the Grand Ole Opry in 2012. Photo:'Hee Haw,' which premiered on CBS in 1969, was conceived as a kind of vaudeville revue for rural America: a parade of corny comedy sketches; buxom girls in pigtails, denim and gingham; and guest performances by country music A-listers—all hosted by the celebrated, cowboy-hat-wearing musicians Buck Owens and Roy Clark. It was spun up as a summer replacement, after the network abruptly fired the Smothers Brothers for refusing to tone down the antiwar, pro-civil-rights politics of their show. With President Richard Nixon taking the White House that January, 'Hee Haw' was a hasty play to entertain the silent majority.
