It details the horrific suffering that Ouichi endured as the radiation destroyed his DNA and reduced his white blood cell count to insanely low levels. After initially experiencing some swelling and vomiting, his condition steadily deteriorated as he starts losing skin and radiation rocks his internal organs. What’s as equally interesting is the discussion of how his team of doctors treated his case, which everyone know had a 100 percent mortality rate. Yet the team of doctors continues to do every treatment possible, even though these are long-shot measures that are simply prolonging his suffering - to then point where Ouichi cries out that “I will not be a guinea pig!” As the doctors proceed to do everything possible, the nurses treating him wonder whether the doctor’s efforts were just worsening and prolonging his suffering. I must say I was a bit baffled by the doctors’ statements that they feel obligated ethically to do whatever was possible depots the long odds of some of the measures working. Ouichi’s family, although wanting him to survive and fight, don’t seem to be the major force behind these treatments. It’s the doctors. This is an interesting case study in medical ethics - and a strong argument for euthanasia. Something stuck me as wrong in the doctors’ unwillingness to face reality. I think anyone reading it would think “gosh if I were in his shoes, I would want to die as soon as possible”. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very short read but very interesting and touching *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021* Very interesting book. I read it rather quickly (3 - 4 hours) even if I haven't been the most prolific reader in the last year.I came across the story of Mr. Ouchi a year ago and it stuck with me due to some graphic pictures online (not included in the book). Nuclear plant accidents like Chernobyl have always interested me because of the effects of something pretty much invisible. One mistake and it causes horrible consequences to the human body. Almost feels like scifi.So of course I had to read this book. I will say I really enjoyed it. As I said I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down and I cried my eyes out at the end.But said that, as someone familiar with this story I do feel their attempt at not pointing fingers at the Doctors involved and I assume their attempt at keeping the book from being too gore-y made me feel like Mr. Ouchi's real suffering wasn't conveyed faithfully. He was truly a guinea pig, be it out of hope to save him or not. The pictures online of his last days truly paint a very different picture.I felt bad for him as he was left unable to communicate and even after his death his suffering was portrayed as milder than it was.A truly heartbreaking story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/22431557-a-slow-death-83-days-of-radiation-sickness](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/22431557-a-slow-death-83-days-of-radiation-sickness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
