    > surgery was a grim turning point

    I get from the wired article that he had already started having problems but post surgery they suddenly seem to have worsened. Might just be a coincidence but who knows how things interact - drugs, bacteria, post-op mental and physical recovery etc.

    Repeating myself here but anyone who has not yet watched the whole 2024 series of Prof. Sapolsky "Human Behavioural Biology" lectures series... really should.

    Highly recommend the Wired story about Lee: https://www.wired.com/story/lee-holloway-devastating-decline...

    Long but totally heartbreaking.

    I can't read this. The writing style is awful. Could be machine translated or just AI filling in from notes.

    What is with the bold sections? Is this just AI or are you trying to make sure I didn’t fall asleep reading the bland plaintext?

      Stylistic choice / tradition; it's a (machine?) translated version of a Japanese text.

      American comics have bolded words too.

      They don't. Note is a blogging platform like Medium, but more popular in Japan.
