I lost a very beloved Person to cancer. I watched her being eaten away from the Tumors, she fought incredibly hard. But thankfully we were in a hospice, so she could die peaceful, without useless Treatment which just would have drawn Out her suffering.
Death was a Relief, a friend.
I have a hart time to understand people/ relatives who cant let go although its painfully clear that nothing can help but Death.
It may sound brutal, but at one point its just selfish to not let go.
From the relatives and the doctors
Would it not be the responsibility of the medical Staff to talk to the relatives and helping them to accept that they tortured this poor man?

What Ouchi had to suffer through is beyond comprehension.
He was a Corpse forced to live.

I've worked in critical care for 32 years. The difficult part is knowing when to stop and say enough. Knowing how much radiation he had received, and knowing what a terrible state his DNA was in and that his stem cell transplant had failed, that decision could have been made sooner. There was no way this man could have survived. Death is sometimes merciful.

My mom is a doctor, she knows a lot about physical suffering from seeing patients with severe diseases. We both love each other but we both agreed that if we any of us ever had an accident, an illness or a circumstance that would be so painful and incurable like Ouichi's case, we would rather let us die and let fate and nature take its course. Grim as it is, Ouichi's family should have felt that way as well. They sent Ouichi through hell because of false hope. In this case it was wrong to hope for the slimmest chance he'll recover. Even thr medical staff felt guilty.

I think the paper cranes is really telling of the mentality and mindset of the family. They genuinely and deeply loved and cared for him, and wanted him to recover, but never truly understood the severity of the situation. He was so sick that a piece of paper could kill him or at least make him sicker.

@Trippydog101

@Peaked Interest on top of it, everyone was so focused on saving the body they forgot about the mind.

There wasn’t any psychologist on board to actually consult the family (from an emotional and spiritual viewpoint rather than medical/ a scientific ‘detached’ viewpoint) and ouchi (pre intubation) about what was going on, and what was going to happen. I doubt anyone ever sat down with him and told him that he was terminal or that he was going to die definitively or had an extremely high likely hood.

I don’t think anyone ever explained to the family, ouchi or the medical staff of how damaging this was to his psyche and mentality to be put through this amount of pain/deterioration.

On top of it, it would have been very beneficial for the staff as well. During treatment and post treatment the staff and team must have been extremely traumatized by the situation and seeing such deterioration.

Chernobyl was very fertile ground for dark 'downplaying the dangers of radiation' jokes; if you hear someone talking about 3.6 roentgen (especially if they call it 'not great, not terrible'), characterizing graphite as burnt concrete, or making a reference to Anatoly Dyatlov, they're talking about the show.

Like he’s basically already dead if his body cant create ANY cells. If anyone everwondered what death feels like, as if you can still feel your body as you decompose this man got the closest feel for it.

Thank you for making an actually factual video about Mr. Ouchi in English after so much shock-news and misinformation, along with that unrelated, gory photo. Bless the medical staff for their hard work and you for giving them the treatment they deserve here.

One thing I think should have been kept in your footage from the documentary were the heartbreaking facts that Mr. Ouchi also called for his mother (ofukuro, casual for "Mom") when he was asking to just go home. Also, that his parents, wife, and son kept talking to him, asking him to keep fighting even at the end. This is all in the NHK documentary you so wonderfully used footage from here.

Also, even though this occurred in 1999, it's worth noting that Dr. Maekawa retired from the hospital after this incident, resolving to work on new programs and systems for treating victims radiation exposure.

@KayKay2513 good thinking. Any biologist who understands the central dogma would know that the COVID vaccine being an mRNA vaccine only takes advantage of the translational machinery of the cell, hence taking place exclusively in the cytoplasm. mRNA does not enter the nucleus where your DNA is located so there would be no possibility of "gene therapy" or any interaction with your DNA

They probably went home and cried in their pillows every night. I would. On top of that, those same doctors and nurses will forever be accused of experimenting on this poor man just because conspiracy theorists can never accept anything at face value, always pretending to have some inside information that makes them feel superior to the rest of us.

How depressing. Instead of letting him pass a painless death, his family had strong hopes that he'll make it through and kept him alive until they couldn't anymore.

A strong man to the very end. May he live in peace now no longer in such crucial pain. I hope his family were given the help needed to cope through this.

In its purest form,being a doctor means never giving up on the patient no matter how grim the diagnosis Is.
I cannot fathom getting up in the morning and getting ready to go to work on a patient as completely fatally sick as this man was.
The doctors and nurses paid for it with the lifetime memory of the sights sounds smells and touch sensations of a human biologically melting over several months from radiation exposure.
If I could tell my relatives one thing in this case is please find a way to end my life before I get as bad as he got.
Death came to him as a savior.
His body was destroyed long before he actually died.

They couldn't give up until the family signed a DNR. They had to keep him alive and treat him by any means necessary.

What we have learned from this is that we can't repair or replace broken DNA from stem cell transplants or skin grafts. It would have been a revolutionary breakthrough had it worked but... no

@rearmisser

3y↑99

@Clbull118 Well it worked. The stem cells were successfully replaced but the radiation his body absorbed caused them to mutate. By the time they tried skin grafts which do work his body was too far gone for them to adhere. They probably would've worked if there was a way to remove the radiation, but sadly there wasn't, and there still isn't a complete cure to radiation exposure to this day.

@HamTheBacon

3y↑23

This is a discussion of ethics on an impossible scale, on one hand the doctors creed is to NEVER give up on the life of a patient but imo there are always limits, and those doctors KNEW without a doubt very early on he had no chance of survival, they KNEW he was going to die an excruciatingly horrible death, but CHOSE to keep him alive, to study those effects.

Imo thats inexcusable for ANY reason, if its beyond a doubt that he was going to die a horrible death, he should have been let go, when we was begging for death, he should have been let go, there is in my mind, no excuse that can be used that would convince me it wasn’t possibly the most horrible thing a doctor could do to someone.

Again this is my opinion.

Note: He wasn't experimented by scientists. It's a common myth that is debunked in many books. He was kept alive by the wishes of his family in accordance with the japanese spirit of never giving up. It was a common cultural spirit and no matter who under what scenario is suffering, it's one of the reasons the japanese never give up. Infact Ouchi died on day 83 only cause after much persuasion his family finally agreed to sign on the 'Do Not resuscitate' sign.
But again in such cases i think it's time to discuss the importance of mercy killing.

Such a well done video. Yes, a lot of videos suggest he was kept alive against his will so I appreciate your dedication to presenting a more compassionate description of what happened. Many people believe in miracles & are taught to hold to faith & hope, to never give up so it’s understandable that his family didn’t want to give up & live with the possibility of having been able to do more.

That being said, I do wish for his sake that the himself & his family would have come to understand & accept his situation sooner. It sounds like the problem was a major lack of understanding about the severity of what was happening & how things would inevitably progress. Unfortunately, most people gauge “health” by how we look & don’t understand that our bodies are more complicated than that. There are things that can actually kill us from the inside out &/or simply don’t present visible signs until it’s much too late.

To me, this highlights the importance of hospitals having social workers or some sort of other supportive intermediary person who can assist families & patients with coping with their situations & communicating with medical staff (who tend to have a hard time with explaining things in a sensitive manner so that people are better able to receive the information).

A very interesting video, sympatheticly covered. I have not read the book on this case, but from another video that lists some of the medications he was given, and his reactions, it would seem that when he deteriorated he was kept in an induced coma.

However, even when unconscious there can be signs of severe pain when painful events happen - such as moving when dressings are changed. I hope he was in a state of deep anaesthesia where he had no knowledge of what eas happening.

Rest In Peace.

@RabbitGirl Theres a video of a man who got pinned in between a subway train and the platform. Everything below his torso was mush, and the only thing keeping him alive was the pressure from the subway train stopping his insides from literally spilling out of his waist. He suffered for 2 agonizing hours before being pronounced dead, and the doctors had to just sit there and try to keep him as alive as they could for as long as they could, as required by law in I believe China, where this took place.

This was a very similar situation. The doctors had no choice but to try to save his life, despite it being, at that stage, literally impossible, and by law there was nothing they could do about it. Its unfortunate, but that's the law for you.

I have existed for nearly two decades now i heard and read many types of horror stories both real and fiction and just when i thought nothing could terrify me down to my core anymore i learned about what happened to hisashi and i genuinely cannot think of a worse way to die, this makes every medieval torture method story that i've heard of sound like a lullaby story for children

I'm genuinely having nightmares from this, poor guy

The idea of something that we can't even see with our bare eyes being so destructive that it literally destroys our bodies ability to be a human body is absolutely terrifying.. 😨

While it is, humans are actually incredibly resistant to radiation (in doses of course). Every day, both you and me are exposed to it, and it just peels off us.

@MrSkillns our bodies have become resistant to background radiation, most of our internal organs remain radiosensitive to anything above it, though there is a safe limit.

@MrSkillns we can survive little minuscule packets of ionizing radiation here and there, But its as if a solid Wall of ionizing radiation just ran right through ouchi, tearing apart every tiny structure that made up his body.

^^ What Peaked said. This is why X-ray is possible without killing you, yet pregnant women can't get x-rayed because of the chance of the baby dying.

@Peaked Interest It’s actually why people suffering from radiation poisoning experience stomach issues, most commonly known, vomiting.

I wonder if there's been any advances in radiation therapy since this has occured. This is such a terrible thing, probably the most painful thing any human could ever go through. Our bodies are so so frail, but adamant for life.
