Ask yourself this, would you rather have free access to basic human rights, such as healthcare, education, housing, drinking water, necessities, transportation, safety even at night, a stable future, always a job and peace?

Not to mention the healthcare and education??? LMAO. “Housing”? 😂😂😂 You ate up all that propaganda and washed it down misinformation. You live in a capitalist world and would have starved to death under the regimes you worship. Every communist state suffered until capitalism intervened to save their starving. Those jobs you pretend existed were just forced labor in exchange for shit you didn’t need. The healthcare you talk about, was literally some of the worst in the world, and every communist leader sent their family a way to get medical treatment in the United States. Weird. The education you pretend existed, was quite literally just force-feeding children propaganda that the rest of the world knows isn’t true. And every communist leader had their children, family, and military/gov’t officials sent to the west for education and training. The necessities you speak about just did not exist, and when they did, they were worse quality counterfeits of western technology, but were somehow *STILL* more expensive than the west. No one was ever safe. But women were especially vulnerable. Rape, sex crimes, and violence against women, along with blatant 19th century sexist ideals are grotesquely overly common under communist governments. “A STABLE FUTURE” has to be the most comical statement though. Like what? How is completely collapsing into non-existence every time is attempted considered “stable”? If you love communism so much but you want to experience it, then just stop eating until you starve, have somebody who is already extremely rich, come and take all your money and belongings, and then force you to work for nothing in exchange, then get someone to sexually assault every female in your family, and then be killed by a secret police force of terrorists because your neighbor got annoyed with you and reported you as a western sympathizer. And you will feel 1/1,000,000th the suffering of everyone who ever lived under the genocidal dictators you worship. Stop trying to be edgy on the internet kid. Your entire life revolves around capitalism. You wouldn’t survive communism.

Ouchi's medical team wanted to let him go. But he was kept alive at family's wishes. Ouchi survived after 3CPR as there is no DNR record. His doctors let the family saw him every day to understand how serious it was. Ouchi by himself was asking whether he will get leukemia on Day1, not knowing how serious this situation is. After surviving CPR and skin sloughing off, the family finally signed DNR after many counselling. It is the family who could not let him go. They want him to live with every challenges and suffering he was facing. There is a documentary with his medical team in Japanese. You have to watch it first before u blame doctors. If there is no DNR documents, doctors must keep trying him alive till the last beat of his heart or else they would be at fault by not following health care proxy wishes and doctors can be legally sued and charged. So stop blaming doctors.

Yeah from my knowledge, the idea of scientists using him as a ‘guinea pig’ likely was spun from the fact that they called in scientists all over the world to do their best to treat him. They were pulling all the stops, doing everything in their power to save him or at least make his pain lessen, they weren’t using him to test him like a goddamn lab rat, they were trying to figure out what happened to him for his and his family’s sake.

[@goober2026]

ALSO NOTE- DONT BLAME THE FAMILY Ouchi consented to everything that happened to him up until and including him getting a breathing tube, which naturaly stopped him from being able to verbaly consent there is an outlier to this, when the doctors attempted to place Ouchi on a machine which would force him to breath, hed panic in pain and force it off of himself before demanding the doctors stop- which they did the doctors would then remind him of his family, afterwards Ouchi would consent to the use of the machine.

Correction: Ouchi was not kept alive by mad scientists. And his family didn't just tell them to revive him. There are many small hopes during Ouchi's stay that suggest he's getting better. The medical team did question themselves and the ethics of keeping this man alive, but they were just doing their jobs, which to try their best to keep him breathing. When they knew that the machine and drugs were the only thing keeping him alive, they immediately let the family know and suggested not to revive him when he went under again. The family complied with what the medical team suggested, both the decision of keeping him alive and letting him go was described to the family in detail. There are some videos that went into depth that there is no strong evidence of malice from the medical team or the family. It's just a rare events that nobody knows what the right answer was. So stop labeling them as selfish and mad scientists. His son is likely 28 years old. I felt bad for his son to hear that some internet ppl described his father's cruel death and his family accused as being selfish and the doctors that tried their hardest as being mad.

He was hit with 1900-2800 *gray*. A sievert and a gray are equivalent, and equal to 1 Joule per Kilogram. The difference is that a gray is the amount of radiation produced, and a sievert is the amount of radiation absorved by biological tissue. Petrovich was hit in the head by a stream of protons of a radius of tens of a micron. No matter how much radiation the stream carried, there was not a kilo of tissue to being affected by it. The total amount of sieverts must have been below 0.1, and pretty localized.

Another person who I believe deserves a mention is Anatoli Burgorski, who had put his head into a particle accelerator, he suffered 200,000R on entry and 300,000 which is about 33 (entry) to 50 sieverts (exit) (math might be shakey because the converter I used had roetgen in hours and seiverts in seconds), Kyle Hill did a great video on it. Anatoli also survived this exposure

I agree to that the Cecil Keley story wasn’t the end of what the doctors did to him. It is a lot more scary when you read it they used his body for research and spreader parts around the US and his brain in a jar of mayonnaise. They use his own cells to inject into other people to see what radiation can do to a person without telling them. It made the story of the body snatchers of los almos and it is a great read of what someone can do and get away with it.

It's true.. many people will say that the scientists and doctors were evil, and just wanted to keep him alive to do research on him. Or that the family was selfish for keeping him alive so long. When that's not the case at all.. and I do agree that he went through excruciating pain, longer than what he should have had to. But he wanted to keep going for his family.. and the doctors and scientists and his family thought that if there was just a slight chance that he would make it and get through this, They would do everything in their power to keep that man alive.. and his family essentially lived in the first floor waiting room, so they could be updated on him everyday at any point in time.. not to mention a lot of the doctors and nurses that were working on him would live at the hospital just to make sure he would have adequate care and be as comfortable as possible.. and it's sad to see people twist the story of this man and the doctors and nurses and scientists and his family, and make it seem as though nobody cared about him and all they wanted was just to do research on him. When that's not the case at all.

The list omits the case of Anatoli Bugorski, who survived an accident with a particle accelerator despite a radiation exposure of more than 2000 Sieverts. The accident happened in 1978 and he is still alive. He was apparently lucky that he was exposed to pure and very localized radiation - which ended up paralyzing the left half of his face, but didn't damage the rest of his body, so contrary to expectations he recovered.

[@unknown-ql1fk]

The plutonium sphere accident is actually kinda even worse than it initially sounded. Tests done recently, like 2015 or later, showed that his hand was actually part of the accident. If the hand were not there the core would klikely not have gone critical...sad

Thanks for this video, today I've learned something new.

[@koenth2359]

To be radioactive and having been exposed to radiation are completely different things! Criticality depends directly on the position of the beryllium reflector, so is not reached within some time after it's closed A moderator does not slow or stop a nuclear chain reaction, on the contrary. You don't need NordVPN to learn those things.

That berrilyium ball was basically the nuclear ball version of a Chernobyl,where instead of operating on naturally occurring principles where a rapid increase in criticality would create a situation that dampens and stalls and kills the nuclear reaction,and thus preventing a runaway from occuring, it accelerated the reaction greater and greater until a new neutron star is born.
