The Most Painful Death Ever (VIEWER DISCRETION)

the fact that people blame the doctors and family, BUT NOT the management at the facility who were actually responsible, is astounding and awful

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.

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.

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

"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.

“Conscious decomposition” now replaces my fear of Rabies as the number one horror to go through before death.

Also, the burn victim in 'that' picture? He lived. Imagine HIS story

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

imagine how quiet the room must’ve been when all the machines were off. deathly quiet.

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

"Hishashi is not Hishahi, he is a body controlled by other things." Absolutely terrifying sentence

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.

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

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.
