After an accident at work, a man was transported to the hospital for severe radiation poisoning. He recalled seeing a blue flash and throwing up immediately afterward. At first, medical staff believed he was fine; one even thought he would be well enough to leave the hospital. Despite his outward appearance, the man’s body was slowly changing- pushing doctors to apply a number of experimental procedures to save what was left of him. This is the story of Hisashi Ouchi, the most irradiated man in history, his family who couldn’t let him go, and his three month long battle for survival in a body falling apart at the seams. Let’s get into it!

As an ICU nurse I see families do this to their loved ones all the time. The body is shutting down and everything is failing. We tell them this. We show them the evidence and they still will allow their loved one to suffer. If you care how your last days, talk to you family about your wishes. Write a POLST or advanced directive. It is a legal document we must follow in the case that you can not make medical decisions for yourself. It will allow you to dictate your care and what is acceptable to you and it takes the pressure off your family to make those decisions for you. Sometimes even the most rational family members have trouble letting go.

I have MS, a terminal illness. In short I'm dying slowly, so I know a bit about the subject. I know families want to hold onto their loved ones as long as possible, but there comes a point where you just have to stop. You're not doing it for their benefit anymore, you're doing it for your own, because you don't want to let go. This poor man's family should have let him go rather than force him to suffer. That's not love, that's denial, and he's the one who paid for it.

I can say exactly how I would feel. My father was on life support after suffering a cardiac arrest due to blood loss from a ruptured spleen during what should have been a minor surgery. It took about two days and several tests for them to pretty much be able to say that he was most likely brain dead, his kidneys were starting to fail and he was on a ventilator. He would have to start dialysis right away and a feeding tube. We told them no, and took him off life support and let him pass. That is no way to live and there is no coming back from that. Of all the things in life I regret letting him go is not one of them.

I think the doctors did their best. Ouchi lived far longer than his body should have been able to. The only people to blame are the people who had the workers bypass the safety measures for mixing the uranium. They should have been forced to sit where they could see everything that happened to Ouchi. That would be the most fitting punishment for basically murdering him. I feel bad for the doctor and nurses though. After a while there would be doubts about the ethicality of keeping him alive. P.s. I know that "ethicality" is probably the wrong word, or not a real word, but couldn't think of a better one after the all nighter I just pulled.

My roommate was a children's ER nurse. She told me about how the parent's of a child, of a strict religion that was against pulling life support, would not let their child go when he was already dying... His body was decomposing after a while and the nurses would have to sponge bathe his decaying flesh over the weeks he was there, technically "alive" using life support, as in it kept his heart beating but he was essentially deceased. At one point his face was decaying so badly the eye left the socket.... Just like melted out and they had to just place it back in the orbital and wash his face like this was all perfectly normal and fine.

83 days! So were the doctors giving him high hopes? After some time had passed I know the hopes were failing to keep him from acknowledging the reality of the situation. In his mind he probably had the 'responsibility of survival' reminding him that it is a responsibility. The Japanese is a responsible crowd, naturally. Working in that function (☢️) he must have surpassed even the typical very responsible Japanese, in maintaining a responsible disposition.

You know when you last commented about letting Ouchi’s family let him pass earlier than prolonging his suffering, I thought the same too. But you mentioned that, if it were our own family member in that situation scenario that struck me hard. My mom contracted Covid last year, 13 days she felt effects from mild to mid and she fought the worst for 10 agonising days. She wasn’t able to speak and she coughed a lot. Just like Ouchi’s family we wanted her to heal and come back to us. Being in that same situation, I would never ever blame the family because I seriously wished my mom to return to me too. But, if it were prolonged for such a long time and no point of recovery, I’d prefer a relief rather than an agonising life.

Keeping Ouchi alive that long definitely only increased his suffering. But I don't think anyone was really to blame for it -- it was the largest radiation exposure seen yet, and the doctors seemed to think there was some chance of recovery even if today we'd know such an intense full-body exposure is pretty much hopeless. I've always been a proponent of nuclear power. While the usual sustainable power sources like solar, wind, hydro and geothermal are safer, I don't see them providing enough energy reliably enough to get us off fossil fuels before they run out or mess up the climate way worse than it already is. I think nuclear is the stepping stone we need right now, and that between modern reactor design, strictly followed safety procedures, multiple failsafes and automation, nuclear can be made safe enough.

This story is incredibly tragic. A lot of people blame the doctors or family for trying to keep him alive, but if your loved one was hospitalized with a slim, but still possible, chance of recovery would you really pull the plug? And even the doctors held onto hope for as long as he had a chance.

Uh, yes. Coming from someone who fully supported and made this decision before, yes. Yes. And yes. Again. If someone doesn't want to suffer in their death, they shouldn't just because of the selfishness of others.

honestly yess, if the sick person expressed the want to end it because of pain their loved one should listen,esp if his condition is not improving while he is in so much pain, yes you love that person if i was in that situation id be bawling but id respect their wishes because its their own body and he is the one hurting to the point its unbearable not you , to keep it going on for a longtime thats torture ,not listening to his wishes i find it selfish, its all about the patient here

We are not dealing with a few days or a few hours. This is weeks, months. Even a few days would be too much in my opinion, unless the medical team can suppress the agony and suffering enough, until full recovery.
