Bob Marley died from gangrene following a football injury on his toe.

I used to work in the American medical system and I can speak for hours about all the abuses and stupid mistakes Western medicine can make. But I can do even more on how people hurt themselves by not going to doctors.

He was perfectly entitled to make that decision?
