Dr. Masakazu Fujii Timeline and Summary

  • Dr. Fujii was running a small hospital on the Kyo River. When the bomb was dropped, he and the hospital were launched into the river.
  • He sustained some injuries as a result of being pinned between two beams. He went to his parents' house to heal/regroup, and then to the house of a friend. However, that friend's house also ended up falling into a river when there was severe flooding.
  • Ultimately, Dr. Fujii bought a clinic and set up a practice there. He tried to make life as fun and awesome as possible, entertaining frequently (including lots of foreigners).
  • He also traveled to the U.S. at one point to serve as a chaperone to some Japanese girls who were seeking surgery for bomb-related scars. He had a big time on that trip as well, fussing over the girls and partying into the night.
  • Things took a less festive turn when he ended up accidentally (?) gassing himself almost to death with a gas heater left on in his bedroom overnight. Initially his family thought he would recover, but he ended going into a vegetative state that ended eleven years later in his death.
