I suspect that Pprune or the OP decided it was in their best interest to remove the thread. A good move in my opinion because no matter what the person was supposed to have done or not, airing someones private medical details on a public forum could give very reasonable grounds for a court case - as it has wider ramifications than simply "Aviation" - future employment, medical insurances, etc etc.....And if untrue, then I would suspect a court case would ensue.
