He had complications after his surgery with Betz. He was doing wonderfully after his surgery with Betz except for a little infection. He was friends with Betz. When he came back home he had no consolidation, Betz didn't take care of him, and he was quoted 200K for new surgeries in the States. Now some of his friends believe he has died because he disappeared out of the blue. You can read his diary in old forum.
