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 think there's a misunderstanding due to the short length of this video. Wendigoon has a much longer and detailed one. His family wasn't forcing the doctors to keep him alive. The doctors were actively trying him because they believed that if they controlled his symptom and his body started to recover, it would heal itself. In radiation sickness, you just need to keep the person alive until the body can get rid of and replace the damaged tissue. Once that's done, the body recovers. The doctor even invited an international team to aid in this. The moment the doctor said they should not resuscitate, the family agreed. Remember, before this, the doctor didn't suggest a DNR, but rather were themselves trying to save him. This was the first and only such exposure and could've easily turned out in a different ending.

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.

It describes the case in even more detail and I think as horrible as the case is, it was interesting to hear the thoughts of the doctors and how the physical changes happened day by day.

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.

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.

@TheElectriCat987 that's also not true. Both people wanted to keep him alive because the treatment to radiation sickness is to keep the person alive until the body can start to recover. The doctors were following the best guidelines of the time, keep the person alive until they recover.

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.

I blame the family. It’s not the doctor’s fault. My family had to make a similar decision with my grandpa. He fractured his neck and was in agonizing pain. Yet he still wanted to leave because he was a strong independent man. They were going to put him in hospes and he would’ve eventually passed but when they put him off the respirator he died. We had to make a similar decision this family did but we chose to let him go.

Nuclear energy is good but knowing it's destructive accidents, someone not concerned by the bottom line ( some government encouraging safety issue report or third party) should be closely involved in the bottom level regulating safety, too many accidents are caused by efficiency/cost vs safety procedures conflict.
