The sight of the woman's tears deeply touched my heartstrings, and I couldn't help but worry about her safety and the well-being of her baby. To mask my fear and terror, I left her, trying to put on a cheerful front. However, no one could hide from her the ominous significance of the dark spots that had appeared on her chest.
Dr. Michihiko Hachiya, a doctor at Hiroshima's hospital, is the remarkable protagonist of The Doctor of Hiroshima. His hospital was less than a mile from the atomic bomb's center when it detonated on that warm August day. In immense shock and pain, he and his wife, Yaeko, dragged themselves to the devastated hospital building, where they found whatever colleagues they could.
Over time, they began to heal and started treating an overwhelming number of patients. They encountered a young girl covered in burns, an elderly man with pneumonia, and a young boy and his little sister searching for their parents. Additionally, they started investigating the strange and unexplainable symptoms afflicting his patients, things he never imagined he would witness.
Told simply and poignantly in Dr. Hachiya's own words, The Doctor of Hiroshima is a unique and deeply moving human story of survival about a small, committed band of hospital staff in the face of unthinkable destruction and loss.
