When Tyler Labine started experiencing stomach pain, he tried to sleep it away. That didn’t work.

The “New Amsterdam” actor posted a video on social media that documented how he recently ended up in the hospital with what turned out to be a potentially fatal blood clot.

In the caption of the video that shows Labine being transported by ambulance and hospitalized, he wrote, “Sometimes it’s a Tuesday and you’re walking around with a tummy ache so you try to sleep it off.”

“Then sometimes you wake up on a weds with a stomach ache so bad you decide to go to the ER at your local hospital,” his post continued. ” And then sometimes your tummy ache turns out to be a potentially fatal blood clot in your intestines and liver and you have to spend the next 3 days in the hospital trying not to die. Just sometimes.”

Fortunately, Labine is “doing alright,” he wrote. He’s in a “slow recovery,” supported by his family and girlfriend, fellow actor Martha Harms.
