A man died in the Beshenkovichi district from a horse's hoof kick

August 1, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. A man died from a horse's hoof kick in the Beshenkovichi district, the Beshenkovichi Central District Hospital informed a BELTA correspondent. The accident involving a worker of a local agricultural enterprise occurred in a pasture. The man received a strong kick to the abdomen from a horse's hoof, but decided not to seek medical attention. Only two days later, already in a serious condition, the villager was admitted to the hospital with a rupture of the small and large intestines and peritonitis. Doctors were able to diagnose the victim immediately and performed surgery, but despite all their efforts, a week later the patient died in the intensive care unit. One of the main reasons that led to the fatal outcome is the late seeking of medical help, the hospital emphasized, urging people to seek medical attention in a timely manner in case of injuries.
