Not exactly. Martin and his daughter told me their side of the story.
Steve decided that as there was to be no interview we might as well buy Martin some flowers and a get well card. We delivered these in person and were met by Sheila F and Ryan Freilino, who repeated the "he's too sick to see anyone" line.
When Sheila told you Martin did not wish to see you, that should have been the end of the story. You should have handed over the flowers with your best wishes, gone home, said nothing and done nothing. This is the family's business only. You should not discuss it in public or offer any opinion. Sickness and old age are bad enough! Sheila has quite enough problems without you jokers adding to her burden.
Steve made some remark expressing sorrow that Martin was not responding to the Dardik "LifeWaves" treatment . . .
STOP publishing comments about the medical conditions of private individuals. Fleischmann is not Michael Jackson for crying out loud!
Either the LifeWaves treatment had a near miraculous effect as soon as Steve politely walked away from their door or MF wasn't anywhere near as ill as Freilino alleged . . .
Whether he was or was not gravely ill and whether Life Waves therapy work or not is NONE OR YOUR BUSINESS and NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS FORUM, or any other.
If the patient wishes to disclose some aspect of his treatment, here or anywhere else, that is his business. As it happens I suffer from neurological problems similar to Fleischmann's. That is obvious to anyone who meets me. It is annoying but not debilitating. I have never made a big deal about it and if it bothers someone they can go jump in a lake. I am likely to live as long as Fleischmann has, which is long enough. If I feel like disclosing some aspect of my medical condition, that's my business. If I do not feel like discussing it then you would be way out of line discussing it or trying to find out what treatments I may or may not be taking. (None, as it happens, other than vigorous exercise; bicycling and ~500 pushups per day. I have difficulty with a pen or spoon but I can easily handle an axe or chainsaw, which perhaps influences the way I deal with adversaries such as Robert Park.)
