Hey there, it's Ira Flato, and you're listening to Science Friday.

This week marks the anniversary of the U.S.

's bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
voice-verified
So today we're resharing this conversation from last year, memorializing the 80th anniversary.

An estimated 210,000 people died instantly or within five months of the bombings.
voice-verified
Another 210,000 survived and became known as hibakusha in Japanese.
voice-verified
For decades, hibakusha have been receiving medical care at specialized hospitals designed to care for atom bomb survivors.
voice-verified
And to this day, those hospitals are busy and filled with survivors who have suffered the medical consequences of the bombings.
voice-verified
Dr. Masao Tomonaga was a doctor at one of these hospitals.
voice-verified
He was just two years old in Nagasaki when the U.S.
voice-verified
bombed the city.
voice-verified
Years later, he became a physician and ultimately ran a Red Cross hospital in Nagasaki that cared for Hibakusha just like himself.
voice-verified
Now, he directs a nursing home for Hibakusha and still sees patients regularly.

Dr. Tomonaga is my guest on Science Friday today.
voice-verified
Welcome to the show.
