Whats the actual condition the guy has? I meant to find out but forgot to. Nevermind I googled...

Its rather sad that this condition has been caused by a relatively common infection that his immune system cant deal with.

I must say it was a good documentary, but i just hated the ending of it when it suddenly just said "dede is yet to decide if he will have the operation or not, and he is still travelling to take part in his shows" The End.... i thought how crap and that was it??

do a google - hes now had massive amounts surgicall removed from his hands and is about to have the same done for his feet. So far its scarring butnot growing back.

It was horrible to think of him staying with the circus but if it was have the operation OR feed your family what would you do?

if he had the operation, he could take up fishing again, the Circus was only using him.
