Jon Gosselin recently had a shocking run-in with death that raises both eyebrows and heart rates. The former reality TV star started experiencing intense leg pain just weeks before his wedding to Stephanie Lebo. When things escalated to a coughing fit followed by the alarming sight of what looked like a blood clot, Gosselin’s instincts kicked in, and he made the dangerous decision to drive himself to the hospital.
Upon arrival, medical personnel discovered that Gosselin had not one, but two bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Thankfully, doctors were able to treat his condition with the proper medication, ensuring he didn’t have to plan a funeral instead of a wedding. Just days later, the newlywed happily exchanged vows with Lebo, all while still grappling with a staggering $20,000 hospital bill from that near-fatal health scare. Talk about a bouquet of stress!
After this near brush with the grim reaper, Gosselin reflects on how precious life can be. It begs the question: would you take the risk of driving yourself to the hospital in a health crisis, or would you play it safe and call for help?
