@itsjillianrowe: 31 DAYS OF NOPE ☢️ DAY 15: HISASHI OUCHI In 1999, a Japanese nuclear worker was exposed to an almost unimaginable dose of radiation during a criticality accident. Hisashi Ouchi survived for 83 days as his body progressively lost the ability to repair itself. His medical team attempted extraordinary treatments to save his life, but his case would ultimately raise some deeply uncomfortable questions about medical ethics, suffering, and the limits of modern medicine. And yes, we’re talking about the disturbing allegations that doctors deliberately prolonged his suffering. The real story is horrifying enough without the internet misinformation. Welcome back to 31 Days of Nope. ☢️ #31DaysOfNope #HisashiOuchi #Tokaimura #MedicalHistory #WeirdScience
his doctors took photographs of his chromosomes & that visual detail has haunted me for years. unrecognizable, mangled black dots

I was introduced to this story by a YouTube video titled “The Most Painful Death Ever (Viewer Discretion)” by Wendigoon. I highly recommend checking it out it’s an 1 hr 35 min

Anytime someone gets this level of radiation it feels like they keep people alive to see what people can handle

I’m a nuclear mechanic. I have a DEEP respect for the scientists who work with radioactive materials directly

That blue flash was Cherenkov radiation! It's an optical shockwave travelling faster than the speed if light in the local medium!

Truth: I hate stupid puns on foreign words. Also truth: this guy's name being "Ouchi" always makes my 12 year old self show up giggling.

Oof. Particle physicists know that if they’ve just “seen” something, they’re already dead.

tbh...an opportunity to study the effects of massive doses of radiation, even if possible to replicate, is a "once in a million years" kindof thing. Poor guy suffered, no doubt!

for those looking for more information on this topic, kyle hill on youtube has a really good video about it! he talks about both ouchi’s death and treatment as well as the incident’s perception in popular culture, and it’s a very good video from someone in the nuclear industry :)

I thought I read somewhere that his family were the ones who wanted to keep him alive.

If I remember right, when I watched an hour long video about this case his heart reportedly stopped several times (around 7 times I believe), and his family agreed to let him go after the eighth time
