DEATHS AS A RESULT OF ETS SURGERY
A Taiwanese man committed suicide in 2005. According to the head of the Anti-ETS group in Taiwan, Ming, "he was around 25 years old and after ETS he felt very angry. Before, he ended his life, he had left a few words to those who considering ETS. 'ETS ruins my life, tell others never never do ETS!' he had said. Then he jumped 10 floors from the hospital where he had the ETS. He used his life to protest ETS. He died immediately, sad story of a young life." We have attached a copy of the chinese newspaper article regarding his death.

A member of the Australian group against the ETS operation, Tim McCarty, committed suicide in November 2007. His family were fully aware of his rage that this surgery had caused extreme side-effects. This is just one of many emails Tim sent to me or the people he helped.

Chuck (USA) was a firefighter. Was accepted into the program, but they had trouble fingerprinting him because his hand was so sweaty, made jokes about it. He had ETS but the first time they went out to put out a test fire, Chuck passed out because he could not take the heat (of course). He fell in love with this girl, who loved him back, but he was always afraid to be with her because his shirt would be soaked with CS. He got a nerve graft from Dr Reisfeld that made him worse. He committed suicide and left behind an identical twin brother.

Jane Grahn was the first one who died in an ETS operation in Sweden, leaving behind her husband, Peter Grahn and their 3 children. As a consequence of her death, the operation was investigated, all ETS operations ceased at the Carlandeska centre, and the operation was banned in Sweden.

There was also a 33 year old Norwegian woman who died after an ETS operation at Carlandeska hospital in Gothenburg, operated by Christer Drott.

In 2003 an Irish newspaper has published an article about a patient who has died as a result of a medical procedure - sources say it is ETS surgery once again. The headline reads "Top Injuries Lawyer Dies After Minor Operation." His name was Alan Synnott and he was in his early 40's. The family of a 44-year-old Dublin man who died after an operation to alleviate his facial blushing was awarded almost €5m in the High Court on Wednesday. Alan Synott was a high-profile solicitor specialising in personal injury lawsuits. The court heard he suffered from social phobia and facial blushing, which interfered with his job. Mr Synott had an operation to stop blushing in March 2003, but during surgery a vein and an artery were damaged, which led to brain damage and to his death. His widow Eleanor sued Austin Leahy, the surgeon who performed the operation at Bon Secours Hospital. Ms Synott was awarded some €4m and the couple's three children aged 13, 12 and seven are each to receive more than €200k. The newspaper article can be found at: Emigrent newspaper (Ireland)
