Feedback:
- I gained a better understanding of atomic bomb survivors. From now on, I will pay more attention to their health care.
- I learned about the dangers of radiation. I will use this knowledge to help predict possible complications after radiation therapy.
- I realized that many civilians lost their lives because of the atomic bomb. I was also able to feel the severe physical and emotional pain they experienced.
- If I have a chance to meet atomic bomb survivors, I want to use what I learned in this training. I also hope to share this knowledge during lectures for other doctors and students.
- Growing understanding of the lives of victims of the atomic bomb as a human being and not just a stranger.
