TIMBO McCarty, an Australian/New Zealander who has been suffering from the side-effects of ETS for eight years and has been working on this website alongside me as well as helping organise meetings, had enough of the side-effects and committed suicide on October 29 at the age of 45. His Father and Mother asked me to put this on the website and to let everyone know that he had had enough. Timbo was always there for me as a friend to talk when I felt everything was getting to me. Timbo was also was a fighter. He wanted ETS surgery to be stopped and was depressed that the surgery is still being performed routinely. He was aghast that his surgeon, Dr Lin in Taiwan, who performed ESB (clamping of the T2 nerve), removed his clamps at a fee yet still performed reversals routinely even though so many people have come forward with complaints.....
This is the second suicide in two years from people who have had terrible side-effects.
