'''Terufumi Sasaki''' was a surgeon at the [[Red Cross]] hospital in [[Hiroshima]] in 1945 and was personally situated 1,650 yards from the [[hypocenter]] of the [[Little Boy]] explosion. Twenty five years old that year, he became one of the six central [[biopics]] found in the 1946 ''[[Hiroshima (book)|Hiroshima]]'' by [[John Hersey]]. He lived at his family home in Mukaihara district prior to the detonation and practiced medicine in communities with poor health care without a permit.<ref>Hersey, John (1989). "Hiroshima". New York: Random House.</ref> |
|||
After the detonation occurred, he was one of the first to observe, document and attempt to treat "atomic bomb sickness", now known as [[acute radiation syndrome]]. Terufumi Sasaki led intensive research into the syndrome in the weeks and months post-detonation, leading to the establishment of three recorded stages of the syndrome. Within 25–30 days of the explosion, the Red Cross surgeon noticed a sharp drop in white blood cell count and established this drop, along with symptoms of fever, as prognostic standards for Acute Radiation Syndrome.<ref>{{cite book |last=Carmichael |first=Ann G. |title=Medicine: A Treasury of Art and Literature |year=1991 |publisher=Harkavy Publishing Service|location=New York|isbn=0-88363-991-2 |page=376}}</ref> In the years afterward he would become one of the leading surgeons continuing to document and treat the [[Hibakusha]]/bomb survivor community,<ref>[https://www.librarything.com/work/2878038 ''Children of the Ashes: The People of Hiroshima, the Story of a Rebirth'' |
