Participants share their reactions to the documentary and discuss related threads on the forum.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes the "tree man" as having a weak immune system that led to massive wart growths on his hands and feet.
  • Another participant mentions a different individual, referred to as the "man with no face," who has tumors larger than his head.
  • Some participants reference previous discussions about the "tree man" and express hope that medical advancements have been made to assist him.
  • There is a humorous reference to "ManBearPig," which is unrelated but highlights the tone of the discussion.
  • One participant notes that the "face man" is a Jehovah's Witness who refuses blood transfusions, complicating his medical situation as he requires surgery to remove a tumor growing into his brain.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Just watched this on discovery, the guy had a weak immune system which allowed
massive wart growths on his hands and feet.

Another was the man with no face, he had tumours bigger than his head on his face
worth watching but horrible.

There was a thread here about this guy recently. Hopefully doctors have figured out a way to help him by now.
 
This still doesn't beat ManBearPig. Half man, half bear, half pig.
I'm super cereal!

The face man is hard to watch, he is a jehovah's witness and so refuses blood transfusions
he will need for the opp to remove the growth, if he does not have the opp he will die as the tumour is growing into his brain.
