the fact that people blame the doctors and family, BUT NOT the management at the facility who were actually responsible, is astounding and awful
These "people" applying their own twisted spins on the story for clicks, views and a quick buck are the truly evil ones.
Edit: I hadn't finished the video when I made the comment
It's still appalling that at no point the people in charge thought it would be best to let him rest. There were multiple clear points of no return for his recovery, where even if he somehow pulled through, there was no way he would be able to live a normal, or even a comfortable life.
@@floron7777 iirc the media mainly focused on the "look how hard these doctors are trying to keep this dying man alive" aspect. Correct me if i'm wrong.
It is the same thing in the corporate word. Many so called management experts always blames the result or the people who were charged with delivering the result but never the root cause especially if the plan is already faulty at the get go.
I'm convinced the people in the comments didn't watch anything other than reddit TTS videos on the matter and nothing else. not even the NIH paper on the matter
"The family is not evil for wanting to save him. And the doctors are not evil for trying to."
This is the bit that broke me. What a horrifying way to go.
I think the bucket was the true evil all along.
this is the only video on this subject that discussed how much they continued to humanize him through treatment. there's this idea they were using him as a guinea pig but all of them wanted him to walk out of there again. Telling him the weather and news while he couldn't speak, just. This shit got me tearing up at work I had to finish listening at home
@@colinwalker4824
Nah, the true evil is the arrogance of man thinking THE HAND MIXING OF URANIUM WAS SAFE!!!
@@reasorlloyd1 More like the arrogance of a company trying to save a few bucks and didn't bother to manage their progress
Honestly, I think the medical staff became hyper-attached to him in a way, more like he was a friend or relative rather than a patient. It might have very well clouded their judgment, but can you blame them? They saw how kind he was, what he endured to stay alive for his family. Their days cycled around him. They were close to his family, his very loving wife, his little son. Maybe at a certain point they refused to believe that all the treatment and suffering would be for nothing. You could see in later interviews that they were heartbroken about his death.
His body rotting as he was still alive and potentially conscious sounds like something directly out of a horror film, I couldn't imagine the pain he went through.
Ngl this is a real case of "truth is more terrifying than fiction". I can't think of any horror film that goes to the depth and detail of pain and suffering he probably experienced, I don't think our brains can even comprehend or imagine what he went through, its one of those things that's simply so off the scale that we can't even imagine it, let alone put it to film/media.
The thing I can't help but wonder is at what point before he was officially pronounced dead did he actually die? With the intensity of bleeding he had, there's no way his body could still be alive from that, right? I would think mass and fatal hypoxia would set in at some point before then.
@@chiefbeef9905The closest thing in the world that I think would come close to this is with stuff like Cordyceps. The bug is still conscious as its body deteriorates and becomes food for the Cordyceps. Even then, that entire thing doesn't last almost 3 MONTHS and their organs aren't literally melting.
@chiefbeef9905 Have you ever seen the house of wax? They were basically turned into mannequins while still alive. The skin peeling off made me think of that movie.
Its basically zombies without the eating people and being consious
The fact the doctors were working around the clock with the meeting schedules and such that wendigoon explained almost makes it sound like the story is going to have a happy ending, That many doctors working so hard for a single man for as long as they did is honestly insipring
If nothing else, it's a testament to the horrors of radiation sickness, and the massive amounts of resources needed to help a patient
They should not have kept him alive for as long as they did, it was extremely cruel.
@@metalmusicspedupmoron.
@@metalmusicspedup
he was their experiment.
@@metalmusicspedupif the patient is willing to experience Hell in order to see tomorrow. The most we can do is make it feel less like Hell- the doctors helping my friend suffering through her body shutting down at age 8 that wanted to make it through New Years Eve.
I think the saddest part of the story is that he was the least deserving person of something like this. This happened because he wanted to be helpful. His boss never asked him to take the funnel, but he did because he wanted to be helpful, and his being helpful killed him.
That, and the horrible practices around radioactive materials.
Goes to show, never be helpful.
@@__-be1gk It's so true. Being helpful at work has only ever gotten me roped into more bullshit that I would've never had to deal with if I just kept my mouth shut lol.
@@lagunkaz There is a saying in my country that roughly translates to "The work goes where it is done.". People who are too helpful in their job or never learned to say "No" will get screwed eventually, be it mentally, physically or both.
@@Dwight_Lee Or don't be complacent. Better yet, know when to say no to unsafe work.
But OSHA, OH&S, and Japan's equivalent are sadly written in the blood of accident victims.
The comment about his wife refusing to cry while in the room made me tear up. What a strong woman showing love for her spouse.
Seriously, what a wonderful woman. I hope her the best in her life
Also the fact that she refused to let her son watch his dad's deteriorating condition. That kind of thing would traumatize anyone, especially a kid. I was amazed at how strong she was
The part where she finally allows herself to cry. That got me.
I really do hope she's had a good life after this whole ordeal. She's a queen.
And the way she always emphasized how strong and handsome he was! What a loving wife
It's so sad how he was in such high spirits thanking the staff and blushing while being bathed by nurses while being in agonizing pain and on the brink of death. Hopefully he's at peace now.
i believe that when he was bathed he felt like 0,1% of the pain he felt in the last days
It baffles me that someone could think these doctors were the ones at fault. My jaw was dropped at the lengths they went to try to save this man, it was legitimately one bad thing after another and yet they continued to treat him the best they could.
But the primary issue it seems is that the victim did not want to be saved, he did not want to go through this extent of medical procedures, just to crawl back to life. he wished for death and the doctors that tried so desperately to save him delayed it as long as they could at every possible moment, he lived in a perpetual hell for months… And that is on the doctors. Don’t get me wrong. The doctors had noble intentions, but they should’ve listened to their patient. They should’ve granted his wishes rather than do what they thought was best.
@@jordanholla5599 I haven't watched the video since then again, but didn't he want to try to live throughout the whole time he could communicate?
@@jordanholla5599I may have missed it in the video but where did he say he wanted to die?
@@jordanholla5599Come back here, and tell us where he said he wanted to die.

@@owenlealat least only if you're not aware you have that condition :/
Totally agree
Honestly it's gotta be at least one of the top fears for anyone who's heard of this story
His wife is an absolute gangster.
Not crying once while he was alive while everyone else is breaking down so he doesn’t lose hope is one of the most deeply romantic & powerful things I’ve heard.
it's really sweet and sad but yeah she's a real one for that
The wife ?the sister she was always game and willing to do anything to save her brother since she was a match to he’s body ,you can tell she loved him so much ,my respects to the sister and the rest of he’s family ,may he rest in peace 🙏🏻
Gangster is such a cringe word to describe a wife not crying in front of her dying husband
@@TTWDTOML this is kinda real too lmao
She was stoic; a tenet of Japanese society.
Also, the burn victim in 'that' picture? He lived. Imagine HIS story
He lived????
You got a link?
hang on run that back. are you fr??
do you know his name?
Elaborate
This story is far scarier than any supernatural horror story could ever be. The man literally rotted away in his own body because of a split second accident
For those who don't know, the reason his family members were likely making so many origami cranes comes from a common Japanese superstition, where if you make 1000 you will get a wish, commonly associated with a book where a girl with leukemia following ww2 attempts this in order to survive.
What’s this book called , I read this in like 3 rd grade but can’t remember
@@OfficialBizz77 lol same, and the reason I didn't say it on the original comment was cus I was too lazy to try to find it, but I looked into it and it's called Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
@@idk_whatimdoing_1384 thanks for the book rec
I remember reading this book in fourth grade. It was a sad read for sure.
Oh wow. That's really interesting (and really Japanese as we are often superstitious and traditional). I didn't know that. I remember making origami cranes with my great aunt when I was 5 while my grandma was in the hospital thankfully recovering from a stroke. As a kid I understood it was something to do while we were waiting for her, but reading this now at 20 years old makes even more sense and is beautiful and very sad at the same time. Like still smiling even when faced with serious illness and death.
The fact that Hisashi's family folded all those paper cranes is very sweet. I know there's a myth that if you fold a thousand paper cranes in a year, you can make a wish and it will be granted. I imagine they were wishing for Hisashi to recover. The fact that the nurse refused to take them down is equally heartwarming.
The paper cranes broke my heart because of that myth, especially after reading that story of the girl with leukemia trying to fold all the paper cranes and dying before she could finish
i thought this same thing i literally cried
@@notbilly7498YES 😢 tears in my eyes. fantastic book but so sad
@@notbilly7498 that book was so sad :(
I cried so hard at that. Simply heartbreaking.
One reason his heart may have survived is that unlike most over organs heart cells basically never divided once it's fully grown, and because the heart doesn't cycle out cells like other organs it never suffered the effects of his destroyed chromosomes.
imagine how quiet the room must’ve been when all the machines were off. deathly quiet.
if i were a doctor on that ward, i think that would have been worse than anything else. the utter silence, and the full awareness of mr. ouchi's absence. that would break me, i think.
The paper cranes made be burst out in tears on the spot. Basically, for those who dont know, There was a girl in japan that was affected by the bombing of world war two, and had radiation sickness because of it. She spent the last years of her life in the hospital folding cranes everyday, and she said her goal was to fold one thousand of them. One thousand paper cranes is something you can do to make a wish come true, and her wish was to get better. It also symbolizes longevity. Unfortunately, she died before she finish all one thousand. So the friends and family around her finished her project after her passing. There is now a statue in her memory, along with the one thousand paper cranes hung in the hospital she was at. So seeing the connection of her story and his, and the meaning of the 1000 paper cranes destroyed me.
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Read the book in grade school.
the family folded 10 000 cranes
Imagine if she folded 999.
I instantly got what the cranes were for and yeah, it got me too…. ❤️

“Hopefully he did experience enough brain damage” will never stop being an absolutely chilling statement.
Truly gut wrenching, cannot imagine the pain he must of felt… i had thoughts of “when will the family and doctor agree on a merciful death” at MULTIPLE points in the video and it only gets worse. And even if he had brain damage, we could only hope that it was enough to become somewhat painless for him
Yeah I kinda winced when he said it even though I agreed lol
i read this just as he said that
"god I hope he was practically dead" is just a harrowing thought. The thought of blood being manually pumped, air being forced into and out of the lungs and skin being replaced daily. You can only wish in hindsight that his brain stopped processing.
There are worse fates than death...with luck, we (each of us!) won't discover our own special one at any point in our lives. Remember to take a moment in our day to be grateful for what we have...even if what we have maybe kinda sucks for the moment, at least it's not THAT poor man's fate! Oy.
I do totally see why the staff and family were so hopeful. I almost agree that his body was the 'crystallized representation of his will' for having lived as long as he did, or whatever that nice nurse said. That fellow was a polite badass, and I totally accept her explanation as at LEAST being the 'metaphorical reason' for his extended survival. A 'proper will to live' can truly help us to live through things that might otherwise kill us, so there really is 'something' to 'surviving because he *decided* he would survive'. Sadly, his determination and spirit weren't /quite/ up to the task of living through a nuclear flash at such short, PERSONAL ranges...but frankly, 'just living as long as he did' really says he was a determined, powerful spirit anyway. Not surviving was "Reality not being able to be overcome by his will alone", and is nothing like 'he didn't try to live'. I mean...he all but 'did magic to himself' to survive as long as he did, but he needed REALLY serious, far-reaching magics that were just NOT available to overcome the wounds he had been dealt.
I mean...remember/realize that radiation is a "3D sunburn". Not just the upper layer burns, it goes /all/ the way through us/. That was truly a LOT to ask for him to recover from. I remain very impressed by the strength of his spirit. Should I find my own life at risk, I hope I can summon even HALF as much spiritual strength to help see me through my danger!
What's crazy is that in the past when I've heard mention of this story, it had been twisted to them exposing him to radiation on purpose so that they could experiment on him. I'm very glad to hear the real story, as heart breaking as it is.
Another story is that the doctors kept him alive against his will to experiment on his body and torture him and revived over 100 times
(Total bs)
Despite all the horrors Hisashi’s body went through I think it’s amazing how much our body can recover and regenerate itself, from the new skin, mucus membranes, lymphocytes and white blood cells
That's the sad part--they were wrong. His body wasn't regenerating and the "new tissue" was basically cancer and served no vital function.
@@linkeddevices Oh…damn. So it was false hope
@@linkeddevices fr they were torturing this man
The fact that his heart was one of the few things that were okay is weirdly poetic
Heart and brain kept in tact for the torture..
@@samoriab5999 It's like a "survivorship bias" kind of thing...you can't live without either....if you didn't leave them alive you'd be dead before the rest of you died
i like to think it stayed like that was the love from his family 🥺
The cardiac muscle cells and neurons are actually pretty resistant to radiation, so it's not suprising. For one, they are deep inside the body and second, unlike most cells, they never get replaced. So if damage to the DNA of these cells makes mitosis impossible, as long as the DNA is intact enought to sustain basic funtions of these cells, it won't really degrade the functionality of the heart or nervous system.
@@Kapik1081 thats great your heart and nervous system remains intact while the rest of your body rots so you feel everything...
"Hishashi is not Hishahi, he is a body controlled by other things." Absolutely terrifying sentence
Sounds like something out of Gemani home entertainment
@@justinsinger2505 couldn’t have said it better myself.
This reminds me of Kite from Hunter x Hunter after he becomes a corpse training dummy, by Neferpitou. Gon really does hope to save him, but he's beyond saving then.
@@punyama5902 i love hxh
I witnessed exactly that when my father-in-law had a massive brain aneurysm that left him brain dead. Machines and medication kept his body going for organ donation purposes. It was weird to watch his chest rise and fall as if he were still “alive”/breathing on his own.
For anyone curious Propofol (one of the drugs he was given) is used in veterinary medicine to prepare an animal for anaesthesia. Also it was what Michael Jackson was given every night to help him sleep (illegally by his doctor), ended up killing him too
I never saw this as squeamish or gross. Instead of feeling nauseous I just teared up hearing how painful and terrible it must have been. He is so amazing for going through all of that just for his family.
Por que no los dos? You can think, "yuck" and "oh, you poor bastard 😢" at the same time.
I've never seen anyone cover Hisashi's story with this level of empathy and care. It's truly heart wrenching.
Right?! He has such a gift. He had me tear up hearing him describe the wife finally released the tears
He was a guinea pig
@@kristanricketts5028at least he helped with cancer research
I’d rather the video be 2 minutes long
@@Level.2.Gigapod Why?
I knew of this story. It’s not the doctors I thought were “evil.” It’s the corporation Hisashi worked for that always gave me the impression as being evil. Turns out, the corporation was a combination of evil and stupid.
Really that is the true evil here. As if they hadn't been so careless with how they treated probably one of the most dangerous substances currently known to man, this wouldn't have happened but instead, they were behind and wanted to rush the process for profit and the results were catastrophic.
THIS. People's been blaming either the doctors or the family (who wished him to survive).
BUT the actual evil is the corporation he worked for, they failed the safety measurements/protocol, the first reason of Hisashi & his co-workers' death by radiation.
@@FauZhee who in their mind would even blame the doctor for doing their work? Also data they collected may help them develop new ways or improve current ways of treatment to potentially save future victims of such incidents.
Most evil can be described that way.
I think it was just negligence born from laziness. Calling it “evil” to me implies intent.
If anyone is questioning about how ouchis heart was so resistant to the radiation, its because human heart cells are different from muscle and are incredibly resistant to becoming cancerous and can prioritize energy supply.
As someone with a neurological pain disorder, you eventually get to a point where you can't process thought and just exist in a state of pain. If he was conscious, that was probably what happened to him if he could still feel pain.
is that a way for the body to cope? Is it “better” than what he could’ve been going through if he still felt pain?
Im just happy that there's finally a video on here about Hisashi that isn't portrayed in a "ghost story" kinda way. He was a real man, with a real family, who went through something no human should have to go through and his story gets treated like a plot to a movie. This is the first video where I seen someone talk about him with empathy and compassion.
I didn't expect this to be so heartbreaking, I'm glad that it didn't go the "ghost story" route. The way that he treated them the real people that they are makes this video so much better
The story is enough by itself, no need to try and make it "spooky"
@@pedrofelipefreitas2666 exactly, what happened is already horrific enough
Mr. Ballen covered this story years ago and was extremely compassionate, respectful and empathetic about it, but you may not have seen that. However, I love how in-depth this guy is about all of the details and the length he goes to explain things like the way you're supposed to handle uranium etc. So kudos to him, awesome job!
I imagine that there are a few videos that take the same tone as a JCS clone video. “You don’t believe how painful this man’s death was!”
"I think people try to make this scary rather than tragic" is such a true statement. I love seeing you cover stories like this so respectfully and with facts instead of turning it into a horror tale for clout.
Yes! This comment just right, it’s so sad that people use this story and tout the “picture” as a scary story and not this story of tragedy, love, humanity, and more. It’s heartbreaking.
Precisely. He really humanizes these stories that we so often read about as "creepy tales." It's easy to forget that the subjects of these stories are people who suffered.
@@shinyhoarder yeah turning literal murders and tragedies into aesthetics or making it "creepy" makes me lose faith in humanity
This is the one case where a horror tale fits. This could be the worst thing that ever happened to a person in human history
@@wereallveryloud Agreed, but i mean horror tale in the sense that some people make it seem almost like a fictional novel. Wendigoon does a great job at keeping everything real and true rather than amping up a story for more attention.
Even if he’d come out of the damage alive, can you imagine the trauma that man would have?
Even if he would have managed to survive through everything (which was already next to impossible in and of itself), the psychological shock and trauma still probably would’ve been too overwhelming and killed him anyways.
it's entirely plausible (and in fact, quite probable) that even if he'd survived, he would have been left extremely disabled. he would have suffered extreme brain damage, potentially would have required a feeding tube until his digestive system rebuilt itself, and may have had sensory loss considering we don't know whether his nervous system was intact. even if his body survived and healed, his brain may never have recovered. and, all that aside, you're right, if he'd happened to live through that and make a full recovery, the trauma of what he experienced would have permanently changed him. poor guy didn't deserve any of this. i fear he may have been doomed from the start, though i applaud the doctors for doing their best. rip, hisashi.
Knowing this will piss a lot of people off, but were it me as soon as they knew I was hopeless and going to die. Just put me down. Nobody should have to endure what this man did.
I would check out before the end of the first week when skin started to come off, even earlier if they told me about the chromosome damage... This really is one of the cruelest science experiments to ever take place.
@@davidicke2415 yeah, I mean I get wanting to save a life and doing your absolute best work. But, personally I think they forgot to weigh the Do no harm part of the oath with that. For me, I would save my family and myself the torture of this experience.
@@ssg25uret6 Honestly, i agree. That was very intense stuff, and if it were me i would've never kept going long enough to let it get that far. Even if i had to convince them or my family didn't like it, the end flag was slowly already set in stone once things went "very" downhill...especially considering how much the family cared enough to stay there in order to keep an eye on things. It may not be the sweetest thing to do, but i would rather them put me down then continue in such a tormented level of degrees in the name of hope.
Exactly, I would never want a patient of mine to go through this - especially when you know he will not survive.
@@ssg25uret6Do no harm means providing life-saving medical procedures when a person in the hospital needs them, unless they signed a DNR. They kept him alive because they were legally required to. Letting him die or killing him is against the law.
Actually there's a reason that Hisashi's family was always folding the cranes! In Japan, there's a belief that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, you can have a wish come true. And honestly knowing that made what Wendigoon thought was a cute little fact so..genuinely heartbreaking
I knew about that from the book about the girl who was doing the same thing after she got sick from the Hiroshima bomb radiation (I forget it’s name). When he said about the cranes my heart broke.
Edit: not remembering the title of the book was really bugging me so I found it. It’s called “Sadako and the thousand paper cranes” by Eleanor Coerr. It’s based on a true story too
That was on an ER episode
@@baileyellison642I remember reading it back in 4th grade, while the cranes themselves have stuck in my mind I don't remember most of the details - I really oughta re-read it after this video.

Way to copy the same comment for the most part someone already posted that's at the very top.... Be original and stop seeking attention and likes from strangers online to the point where you will say the same thing someone with lots of likes said. It's just like all the other attention seeking clowns like a bunch of bottom feeders that are all throughout social media
The real anger needs to be directed at the company’s absolutely criminal negligence. May whoever profited off this man’s suffering, suffer the same fate
The boss only got 3 Sieverts compared to Hisashi's 20 unfortunately. At least they got imprisoned for it.
it's truly surprising how, with any fatal accident (especially nuclear ones), people never seem to blame the company's negligence that led to that point. Its somehow always the workers fault, the family's or the doctor's fault, but never the executives that were guilty of the accident happening in the first place.
@@nyom6378 It's sick. People are always like: well why did you do it unsafely in the first place?

@@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustachehe’s just referring to the common worker in ouchi’s place being pressured into doing something unsafe is *super* common and should be the higher ups responsibility
@@nifynitm Yeah that's also what I said. That boss sucks
I think this case kind of encapsulates my feelings on the medical philosophy of “keep the patient alive at all costs”. I completely get that doctors and nurses are trained to save and help people, but when every cell of a man’s body is dying… or if a heart attack victim codes and is resuscitated dozens of times a day for extended periods of time… we’re not helping anyone, we’re just prolonging unnecessary suffering. Sometimes letting go is best for everyone involved, and I think that holds true for this case in particular where this man was being actively held together by every possible resource despite his body’s resistance. Everyone did the best they could, but when the best is nowhere near enough, sometimes the best course is to stop.
"Sometimes, dead is better." ---Pet Sematary
The problem that you don’t know when it’s better to let a soul go because in very rare cases a miracle happen and that’s why they try till the end
@stormbornapostle5188 Yo, quoted that elsewhere in this comment section, because holy shit is it relevant.
Seriously, though. All of us are going to die, no matter what we or anyone else do. Sometimes it's really, really not worth it to argue.
@@helmiyoussef3741This man saw a Chernokov light. There are no miracles at that level of radiation exposure.
these doctors tried to keep him alive and were villanized, but if they had put him down beforehand, they would have also been villanized. In situations like these, there really are no right choices or courses of action.
I am reminded while watching this of the words of Blaise Pascal...
"...Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him. but even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows none of this."

To me, the diarrhea part is probably personally the most disturbing. Imagine having constant diarrhea, with your anus being completely deatroyed as the mucus lining is gone, constant unimaginable pain, and on top of that the knowledge that the thing youre shitting out is your own liquified organs.

The fact that the room gets darker as the story goes on is just something. I know it's just sunlight but it reflects it so well.
the lengths his sister went to save her brother really warms and breaks my heart what a lovely human being she has a huge heart
I know. My brothers would be like "good luck"
I think if this happened to someone I love I would end it for them
Hisashi's whole family sounds wonderful. They're definitely a big part of why he survived as long as he did, just through the moral support alone
Yeah.
his family caused him to have one of the worst deaths you could have, if they just let die, instead them and the doctors made his death way worse would you like to die like that and sit in a bed getting worse and worse because there is no cure or medical care you can have he had more if he was in a town where a nuke dropped he still wouldnt get the same level of radiation that he was exposed too
It's not just physical pain but mental and sensory details. Imagine having to smell your own fluids, see the damage, and hearing the extent of the damage.
Hearing and seeing the machines and feeling medicine flow through...
In the spy-novel Shibumi, there's a scene where a character was strapped to a chair and tortured.
(Warning: grievous bodily injury description)
The torturers gave him some drugs that ended up numbing the pain, and he was horrified that he could *hear* his bones cracking despite not really "feeling" it.
it was all horrible
@@chingqing0504you don't feel medicine flow through you, for the most part. Some medicines are cold, and you'll feel that in your arm, but otherwise nah, not really. Injection sites sting as the medicine dissipates, but again, you don't feel it flow throughout your body.
At least with the smell he likely wouldn’t have been able to by the time stuff got really bad. Smell is mainly reliant on the mucous membranes. If they are destroyed so would your sense of smell.
That man went through hell, but think of information that was learned and medicine that was created because of his rare case. His demise could very well have saved someone else’s life
"you can't just fillet the guy"
I'm probably going to Hell for laughing at that. Poor bastard.
Hearing about how Hisashi's wife would never ever cry in front of him in order to cheer him up and make him have hope and give strength made me cry myself. That's such a beautiful and yet tragic story.
Truly. I cried a few times through this video but when Wendigoon mentioned she didn't cry to stay strong for him I had to pause and let it out. I could only hope to be an ounce as strong as she was.

"His arm is melting, and it's poisoning his whole body."
That's a terrifying statement in and of itself, but the fact that this was one of the more mild problems Hisashi faced, is mind numbing to think about.
the Russian expert was right, just that what he really said was "STUPIDS! That Arm Should Had Been Amputated In The Beginning!" Russians Don't waste time and lolly gag like most... ACTION ACTION ACTION! The expert here just threw up his arm is defeat! "IDIOTS!" "Vat Vere Zu All Doing? Did Da Vadiation Make-a-you all Zelepping?"
Thank you Wendigoon for explaining this case. I’ve only heard the versions full of misconceptions. So this was very enlightening to hear the case as it happened. Rest in peace, Hisashi and Misato. My prayers go out to their families and the medical staff.
I think the worst part of this story is the beginning when you know everything is about to get leagues worse and he keeps going 'this guy was bright and friendly and helpful and it seemed to be getting better' my stomach started churning at that point looking at the title and comments while hearing that
Anybody that works intimately with ICU patients in a hospital setting knows there’s a time when ‘saving a life’ becomes a cruelty.
@Dane M. As a registered nurse, I had to do a rotation of a burn unit in my senior year. Not my patient, I'll try to be brief. This man was 18 years old Worked in a company, ,something happened and he ended up being covered with burning hot asphalt. Third degree burns on everything except his penis. They had to put wires holding his fingers apart so that they wouldn't curl into claws and fuse together. The look in his eyes was pure terror. After school that day, I drove home thinking : I wonder if we know too much, but yet not enough. This kind of suffering still exsists in our world, and I wish we could do more, or perhaps, do better.

Those are both the same thing 😂
It’s actually very comforting to learn that Hisashi wasn’t treated as an experiment. That all of this suffering wasn’t because of some sick fascination but because the doctors genuinely thought if they got him through this he could recover. That they were willing to work 24/7 and push aside doubts because they told this man and his family they would try as long as they could. That says something about humanities compassion, so did the questions on wether the suffering Hisashi was facing was worth it in the end.
Yeah from what I've heard before this whole thing sounded like it was some crazy doctor doing it for "science"
meh. I think that was just a cover story. The japanese are known for using humans in unspeakable experiments. Ever heard of "Unit 731" in WW2? The things they did........... it's worse than anything you read the Germans did : (
this was really significant for the medical and scientific community. im sure it has impacted how radiation is applied to the body in medical situations and more specifically how to best treat those procedures.
I really hope this was the truth.
YES! I heard it was experimental at one point and going into this video i wasn't expecting the amount of work and compassion that went into trying to save this man. I'm happy his family was with him 😢
i recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, i’m 18 years old. i swore it was the worst pain i’d ever felt and i cried from the pain and was horribly depressed that i couldn’t eat or breathe without pain. this is simply unimaginable. even if we tried to sympathize, the worst pain anyone has ever felt in one single place couldn’t compare to the pain he was feeling on EVERY inch of his body. rest his soul & i hope the family was able to find peace within themselves. thank you wendi for another informative video.
I just looked up an image of his skin. Just his full name and skin right after, and jesus…truly the most painful way to pass. No other person’s soul or will could comprehend just what this man went through, for nearly 3 months.
thank you for disclosing the search keywords, time to see terrible things
The 10,000 paper cranes part was what really drove it home for me, because of the old legend that anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes will be granted one wish. They weren’t just folding them to pass the time or as a little familial ritual, they were folding their wishes for their father, their husband, their brother, their son. That he could have the strength to live just one more day, and maybe he would make it out alive. Or maybe that his pain would stop and he could still be with them. It’s harrowing to imagine sitting in that quiet waiting room, after you’ve realized that nothing that you or anyone else could do would ever save his life, still folding your wishes into the forms of little paper cranes.
If you read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” it shows how the cranes are believed to work from the perspective of a Japanese person.
yes this is what i was thinking of. if really hit for me too
Hey can I get a TLDR on this
@@Geidi174
It's a single paragraph
@@Geidi174 if you fold 1,000 paper cranes you get one wish. But for the story a Japanese girl who lived in Hiroshima or Nagasaki got leukemia from the radiation and her family helped her fold the cranes.
Found myself getting emotional hearing about Hisashi’s wife never crying in his presence and always reminiscing about the good times. She had every right to be devastated; no one would blame her for weeping for her husband… what an amazing woman.
Japanese people dont tend to show emotion to each other in that way. so yes its horrific and that poor woman deserves to have broken down, she must have so many times when she was away from him, and the strength she showed was beyond human, its part of Japanese culture not to show these feelings publicly. The trauma every single one of the people involved went through is beyond imagining

You don’t exploit, you tell the entire story. It is very rare to hear of a tragedy dealt with in a genuine and human way. You don’t detach from it or sensationalize it in a true crime way, you allow us to be there with the family. Thank you for your cautiousness with the event

@@TheLuckyDime but there comes a point where it needs to stop, when it becomes too much for the person caring for the victim and the victim themself. To decide if this persons suffering is worth it or not.
That's why when someone runs over an animal on the road, they kill it so it doesn't suffer.
Personally, if I was Hisashi I would want to die, so then my family didn't have to see me become worse and watch me suffer and doctors didn't have to work as hard as they did.
But I would also want to live through it. So that scientists and doctors would be able to treat others if they had a similar condition.
It's still explotation. Just own up to it. There's nothing wrong with it, but that is what it is. And no amount of copium will change that.
The saddest part about this video is the fact that the doctors tried so hard, to keep Hisashi alive, and Hisashi himself fought harder than anyone thought was possible, to stay alive. But in the end it's just too much for someone's body to handle. This incredible man died 3 times before finally giving out. The dedication of the doctors, and Hisashi's powerful spirit, is incredibly inspiring. I hope that in his final moments, he knew that everything that he endured shows just how strong humans in the worst of conditions can fight through. A true legend.
Rest in peace Hisashi.
And to Masato, who may get overlooked due to his case not being as rare as Hisashi's case, lasting 200 days is truly an incredible accomplishment.

Truely a tragic story. I can't believe some people find the need to come up with some sort of villain while the real ones were the management of the nuclear facility.
Thank you for another.... informitive video.
As horrid and painful this is. You have to take a moment to appreciate how incredible the human body is. Rebuilding itself from scratch to try and fight the radiation. I hope Hisashi rests well knowing how brave he is and what an impact he had on the world.
i think he was in the "walking ghost" phase, which means that his body recieved so much radiation that it completley neutralized the system that produces new cells. since cells always die, that means that your cell count would continue to lower without increasing, which is just horrifying to imagine
@@John_Gillman Literally decomposing as you're alive. I know the joke of "as soon as you're born you start dying" but this man's body was going through what happens AFTER death, but he was still alive.
You mean the attempt to regenerate itself and/or repair the damages done by the radiation? I mean all human beings are works of miracles from inside out. The body, the conscious mind to the sub-conscious and un-conscious; you name it! The majority of us overlook what miracles are...Many would define it as something science can't explain the what why where etc... and all the time it's a good result of something that's doubte by all. Now reverse that and what do we get? will it still be considered as a miracle?
@@John_Gillman But, despite his chromosomes being completely and utterly obliterated into irrecognizable blobs under the micrograph, the doctors documented he _did_ have these tiny white spots of regrowing skin on his bare flesh, and the endoscopy photo shown when he started bleeding internally showed -- to the eye -- pretty big round spots of regrowing mucus membrane, compared to the skin spots!
Absolutely amazing how that was even possible, however horrifying his overall fate was.. 🙄
The various types of flesh/tissue are always growing and dyeing, just look at your fingernails.
They mostly do it at different rates, you can grow muscle faster than the bones they move.

honestly, i used to think the doctors were so selfish for keeping him alive so long but after listening to this video, i am sobbing for him, his family, and the entire medical team
Yeah many fake News about this Case sadly
Doctors take an oath to do no harm. If they thought there was any chance of survival they were simply doing their job treating what they could. Trust me they didn’t want any part of this
I see a lot of people saying " *I* wouldn't want to be kept alive"
But he did. He most likely wanted to survive no matter what, no matter what it cost him, just for him to be able to see his child again
They had to. An important piece of information that often gets left out of this story is that, due to laws and paperwork, they were legally bound to keep him alive as that’s what his family wanted. The doctors recommended many times to the family to sigh a do not resuscitate order but they continued to refuse, despite how much pain and suffering Satoshi was going through, and how he had zero chance of recovering.
Hahaha wait till you watch all quiet on the western front
Thank you for making this video without misinformation. The pain the family must've felt makes me wanna cry. I couldn't imagine my younger brother in this situation. If any of my family needed it, I would give any part of myself for them.
Well done. This video is so well thought out and respectful to Hisashi and everyone involved in his treatment and care. I like to think that with the news of Hisashi growing new skin and membranes that this ordeal put us one step closer to a future where radiation related deaths are a thing of the past.
His wife's courage, the paper cranes still being there, the thin gauze covering his face... this story is full of details that are emotionally shattering. This poor man. I genuinely, genuinely hope that wherever he is now he's happy and he knows that people empathize with him.

this comment will get lost in the endless sea of others just like it, but thank you, wendigoon, for making this video. this must be my third time watching it by now, and your video inspired me to write a dissertation of my own about this very case and the ethics surrounding it. i think you handled this case with the utmost of care and sensitivity, and i appreciate that you didn't attempt to romanticise, sensationalise or fictionalise the horrific trauma this man suffered, as i've seen others do with this case. the evidence of the extensive research you did is clear and admirable. i take great comfort in knowing that hisashi is at peace now, where he belongs. i'm sure his family would have taken solace in your video, with how carefully and compassionately you recounted this tragic story. rest in peace, hisashi.

@@foreverain.(this is my main account, OP was a temporary account of mine) thank you. the question i'm asking is essentially whether the doctors could or should have taken a different course of action with regards to keeping him alive, and i'm strongly leaning towards no. they couldn't. they treated hisashi as best as they could. there is a myriad of evidence in support, as well as against, and i'll appreciate the opinion of anyone who thinks the doctors should have let him pass. but i think that hisashi was proud of the fact he fought until the end.
@@foreverain.also, side note, his name is Isaiah? how'd i not know this, lol.
I have never heard this story with this level of empathy and respect for everyone involved. It really brings out the level of morbidity and sensationalism that has surrounded it over the years. This and the murder of Junko Furuta have always been stories that are handled without the respect they deserve. This is a good example that you can touch these subjects with the required level of care.
So true, I never really realized how sensationalized this case is until I heard Wendigoon treat it so somberly (while also giving respect to the doctors and family).
Junko deserves so much more respect then she’s ever gotten. It’s bad enough the perpetrators barely received any jail time, and one of their mothers destroyed her grave. People need to remember these individuals suffered unnecessarily and incomprehensibly
Came here to second this comment. The most respectful and truth honoring coverings of this story I’ve heard told

That shot of his chromosomes is one of the scariest things that I've ever seen. Got some education in that area, so as soon as I saw that I knew what would happen. For some context, either having too many or too few is devastating. He didn't have a single normal one left and some fused. I feel so bad for him, his family and the medical staff. They did what they could, but it was over for him before he even made it to hospital
honestly it like, that's the part that made me sick to my stomach. the way the body still fought so hard to keep going and heal through that... amazing.
The man had such a wrecked amount of genetic material that whatever new “skin” grew was most certainly cancerous. Cancerous being relative to damage, not spread. Dead cells, obviously, can’t propagate, nor sustain, cancer.
What an entombed horror his body became. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
As someone who doesn't have more than a general education on chromosomes, but actually cared to understand it, my reaction to that shot was: "Oh. They're gone."
Like, there's obviously no structure left there, how could anyone think that that's not catastrophic damage… :Ü™
@Darker7 catastrophic is an understatement. I don't think there's many other examples of chromosomes getting destroyed so hard they literally fused together
@@debrabarber3483 catastrophic is a pretty fucking dramatic word. Catastrophic means it's over. What the fuck
This is a beautiful, tragic tale, the compassion of the family and doctors made me bawl my eyes out, to think people would dedicate so much of their times, clinging to the slightest hope that he could survive, just so midia would turn shit upside down. The strength, both the wife's and Hasashi, to be there every single day, to fight through the pain, his fucking heart being the only part of the body "intact", it is trully a shame it endeed how it did. It is, in all that matters, a story that encapsulates all sides of humanity, hope to despair, fear to bravery, greed to solidarity...

God Bless this man, I hope he is a better place! I hope his family was well compensated for their suffering as well!
i love the way he humanizes Hisashi in this retelling of the events. jts easy to listen to stories like this and never actually realise it was a real person who had family and friends, who had emotions and a personality, who had a whole life ahead of him. im so glad wendigoon respected everyone jn this story.
That’s sort of the problem with “victims”, in general. They tend to be entirely defined, by the greater culture, as people who suffered misfortune as opposed to PEOPLE…people with childhood memories, a favorite color and a family around them. It’s a similar problem when people die in great numbers…millions in Germany, Russia, China, Turkey, all over the Americas. Statistics allow us overlook the *humanity* that’s erased when terrible things happen. It might be a defense mechanism…a way to protect ourselves from the horrible truth that victims of such existential madness are people, just like us…

@@cuneytunsal5422
Not really…the story kind of gets drilled into your head and it becomes that person’s entire existence from your perspective. I try to think past that stuff but I understand why it doesn’t occur to some people. It’s a consequence of the overwhelming narrative that surrounds the defining moment in someone’s life.
@@cuneytunsal5422 heres a way to imagine it. you hear about a shooting victim on the news. you know they had a life, family, friends, but you probably dont shed a tear for them. if you did, youd be emotionally exhausted after the 100th shooting. now imagine that shooting victim was a friend from highschool. you havent spoken to them for years, sure, but you KNEW them. you remember their smile, their quirks, their voice. youd feel crushed at the very least.
humanizing victims, especially when the death count of an incident is in the thousands or millions, is really difficult for people. like people have already said, its a defense mechanism, because you can only care so much
@@cuneytunsal5422 think of when you hear about a shooting on the news or a car crash; it’s easy to just hear that stuff and think “oh, that’s awful” but not cry over it. In the end, you don’t know those people, so it’s easy to not get upset over people you never knew. I used to always do that, up until just a few weeks ago when my sister got in a car crash. It’s something you hear about all the time, but don’t feel the pain from it until it happens to someone close to you.
He met his wife in high school. They dated for 7 years before getting married. Their son was probably around 8-9 at the time he died, they had known eachother for *at least* 15 years. This is so tragic.
I know that this has probably to do with finantial necessities and probably a lot of ignorance and naiveness, but this is why i would never allow my partner to work on such harmful and dangerous conditions, i would ratter be poorer and with a worst finantial condition than to give a chance of a loved one to die or suffer. I'm not blaming her, to be clear.
@@giorno4859 Near the start, it was stated that Hisachi (I think that's how you spell it) never did that procedure where they mix the uranium in a bucket. Maybe neither he nor his wife knew how dangerous his job really was. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Å
It was esp tragic that she was so selfish she subjected him to this instead of loving him enough to let him die with dignity. He said he didn't want to be their guinea pig and repeatedly expressed his wish to just die the pain was so excruciating, but they entirely ignored his wishes until he could no longer speak and then just kept right on with torture worse than probably any human has ever experienced. Medical ABUSE and Perverse treatment of a human body. You can't tell me his family "loved" him. Love isn't selfish like his family and the medical team was. Wednigoons spin on this story is terrible. The doctors did exactly the opposite of their job-limit human suffering and this is widely acknowledged in medical and layman circles as a terrible thing to have done to Hisashi despite what misery his wife was willing to subject him to...knowing there was a 99.9999% chance he'd die. And he did die after 90 excruciating days. All of this was for nothing but experimental discoveries.
@@Janellabelle Are you serious, did you even watch the video? The doctors did all they could with the technology available at the time and such a thing had never happened before, the doctors and the family geniuenly believed he had a chance.

As this story is horrible and unfortunate I just want to say you did a marvelous job! Your expertise and compassion is to be commended. I look forward to more of your work!! Good job!!!
Hearing that the wife stayed strong and didn’t cry until he died got me crying. The strength she held for him is truly remarkable and heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain she felt when she knew he was gone is a pain I fear for my wife. Truly a soul crushing story, filled with nothing but hope in a hopeless situation
Before my mum passed, I had hope that she would get through it. It wasn't until her last breath that I broke down crying, realising what had happened.
yeah i just cried hearing that part
Same. When she finally cried when seeing his body, that broke me.
Oh i cried too. had to take breaks from it. I lost my fiance in 2019 so i know grief but i feel like this story really was just horrible. For him, his wife, kids and family. I just can’t even imagine.
shes a horrendously selfish woman for making him endure that.
I’m glad this was the first video I watched on Hisashi Ouchi. It’s astonishing how much the human body can actually withstand. Hearing that his body was still trying desperately to grow new cells until the end…
I have heard that hearing can be the last thing to go (Alzheimers) but i wonder about in his case. Also people have lived a long time surprisingly with very low heart rate (even with pacemaker). Oh God help us all!
Damn straight he’s Hisashi Ouchie
Look at all the drug abuse people put their bodies through.
He was a warrior.
I thought the human body was really weak
This one was hard to listen to, not going to lie. Poor guy, and his family, and all the doctors that tried to save him. Truly unimaginable, true body horror in every way.
On a brighter note, thank you Wendigoon for teaching me that Godzilla glowing blue when he is about to use his atomic breath is based in science!
There is a saying in IT that the weakness of the any highend security is the human factor. This story is another example of it.
Thanks you for spending the time to research everything and putting it into a video. You've done everyone that has put everything into hoping he could come out of it proper Justice
It kinda sickens me that what should have been an expose of corporate negligence has become overshadowed by the demonisation of a grieving family and a team of doctors, who the only crime any of them committed was wanting a guy to live.
Yeah :(
^^ One of the few who gets it.
Doctors are the reason people can carry on, and humans are unbelievably selfish in that they see hope and want the injured to carry on for a longer life. That's what makes the demonization and slandering so revolting to me, these people yapping are the ones demanding help from the same people they apparently hate.
You're right, this is the more important issue at hand
I do not blame the docs or his family but the moment he said "I'm not a guinea pig " he made his intentions clear.
I don't understand why they just didn't let him go when he was going through so much pain
"im not a guinea pig" genuinely gave me chills thats such a sad line and an unimaginable experience

This is such an ugly, gross and absolutely heartbreaking story, and you managed to tell it in such a beautiful manner.
"The family weren't selfish for wanting to save him, and the doctors weren't evil for trying to." Beautifully put, Wendigoon
Yes they were.
@@ccirish4519 complete ignorance from you if that was your family member or your job to save a man whos wish was to be saved you would do the same.
You can’t please people like CC Irish in their infinite idiocy. If they saved him, he would’ve complain about how they spent so much resources on one man, if they let him die, he would’ve said they could’ve saved him.
@@ccirish4519 Well, of course you see it like that from your perspective
But if a family is desperately trying to save you, that's guaranteed that they find you too important to left to be dead. And families will do anything to try and save each other no matter what.
Mercy shall be lost on you when you need it most.
Man, the strength of the wife brought a tear to my eye. That took selflessness to hold back her emotion for the sake of her husband. I bet her support kept him going, and in a poetic way, maybe that's why his heart was in perfect condition. RIP Hisashi
I was straight up just bawling when the wife finally broke down after Ouchi had passed.
i can't even imagine how much it must've pained her to keep a smile on her face while knowing that her lover wouldn't be able to pull through, but still managing to extract every single last drop of hope to maintain that smile.
although horrifying, it takes a special kind of person to be able to endure that.
Actually, you're probably right, OP. Like. Literally. When my grandfather passed away, his doctors all said that he was literally only alive because of me and my sister. That was the only way to explain how he lived as long as he did. I'm so proud to be his granddaughter.
And omg. I was sobbing so hard. That wife - I can't even imagine what it took to get out of bed, much less smile. That's a soul mate, for sure.
Years ago, a co worker told me of a woman whose son was dying.
Every day she would pray in the hospital chapel, then put on a smile an enter her son's room cheerfully.
She never shed a tear in her dying son's presence.
@@charlieberry7562 different types of strength.
I’ve listened to a ton of your episodes, my family and friends have had a lot of people go through medical problems. This episode made me tear up and break up hard. That poor man and his family. I pray there is a special place in heaven for people like this.
Thanks so much for this breakdown, as tragic as it was. I've seen a LOT of misinformation about this and wanted to learn the truth and you did a great job - as harrowing as this is. My only question would be, did Hisashi Ouchi's wife/family file a lawsuit? Surely they'd be entitled to a HUGE amount of $$ due to this workplace FAILURE!!
The idea that propofol, fentanyl, and ketamine combined couldn't kill the pain this man was experiencing is almost unfathomable. I don't know if anyone else in history has ever experienced that pain.
Probably not for such a long period of time.
It most likely had more to do with the fact that the cells simply did not process them, his bloodpressure was too low or he had too bad bloodflow. Our idea of how drugs affect our perception of pain is based on otherwise functioning bodies, not bodies going through imminent failure everywhere all at once since no other condition can replicate radioactive poisoning.
At that point it’s almost time to just let the person die. They aren’t going to get better and they’re hurting that bad, they need to give him a “nurses dose”.
And yet women say child birth hurts….
Well, I immediately can think of exposed staff of Chernobyl powerplant and first-response firefighters (who were VERY close the open, burning reactor)
