“He probably waited too long to see a doctor,”
He had a doctor that was treating him. They referred to a nasal infection.

same thoughts here ... probably using the race car driver’s favorite, toradol, to treat symptoms ...
I worked with a man who had a respiratory infection, and had taken a couple of days off to get better. Another coworker and I went to visit him after work and he was coughing up blood. I immediately called his wife, who was at work and told her. He kept telling us he was Okay so his wife called EMS and we stayed with him till his wife and the ambulance got there. He was delirious by that time. They barely saved his life. We had a talk when he got back to work a few weeks later and he told us that he thought he could tough it out.
