33-year-old Nikolay Gutsev croaked a few days ago in a hospital in Bulgaria after hitting his toe on a metal object during work.

X-ray showed a broken toe but was told by doctors he could go home and rest and take ibuprofen for the pain.

The man returned home and passed out in front of his wife and kids. He was taken again to hospital where he croaked from lodged blood clot in his lung aka pulmonary embolism.

That is what we call a freak of nature. He probably would have died here in the United States under the same circumstances. If it was a hairline fracture, most doctors would let it heal naturally. Blood clots sometimes develope for no apparent reason.
