>Meyers writes that "an aura of secrecy surrounds Hemingway's treatment at the Mayo" but confirms that he was treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as many as 15 times in December 1960 and was "released in ruins" in January 1961.[153] Reynolds gained access to Hemingway's records at the Mayo, which document ten ECT sessions.
>Cognitive impairment is sometimes noticed after ECT.[43][44][45][46] It has been claimed by some non-medical authors that retrograde amnesia occurs to some extent in almost all patients receiving ECT.[47] However, most experts consider this adverse effect relatively uncommon.[48] The American Psychiatric Association (APA) report in 2001 acknowledges: “In some patients the recovery from retrograde amnesia will be incomplete, and evidence has shown that ECT can result in persistent or permanent memory loss”.[9]
>He is reported to have said to his biographer, "Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient."[147]
>Hemingway was back in Ketchum in April 1961, three months after being released from the Mayo Clinic, when Mary "found Hemingway holding a shotgun" in the kitchen one morning. She called Saviers, who sedated him and admitted him to the Sun Valley Hospital;[155] and once the weather cleared Saviers flew again to Rochester with his patient. Hemingway underwent three electroshock treatments during that visit.[156] He was released at the end of June and was home in Ketchum on June 30. Two days later he "quite deliberately" shot himself with his favorite shotgun in the early morning hours of July 2, 1961.[157]

There's 0 evidence of him being a repressed faggot. It's either women who can't understand that men sometimes bond deeply without it being sexual. Or it's basedcuck men who don't understand his philosophy and try to simplify him, to maintain some superiority over his vision. When in reality his sexuality, whatever it was, has 0 to do with his genius craft.
